According to the semi-official site HunterMott.com, Ian "has said he thought Waterlow was the best song he'd ever written for Mott." But some critics of that period (and the less than successful 3rd album Wildlife, 1971) were not so generous, explaining "he tries so hard to be gorgeous and moody and anthemic and universalist and sweeping at the same time, but instead is just unoriginal and insipid." You decide.

That critic's comments were totally idiotic.

The critics who put down Ian Hunter, and particularly this beautiful song of his, are a bunch of idiots! I'd like to see one of them write a song like this, or any other. Music critics are people who have no talent to play or write but somehow feel qualified to judge those who do, especially if they a some kind of university degree. Ian is one of the great underrated musicians of his era and still rocks.

The crown jewel of a very underrated album, and one of Ian's best ever.

Waterlow was written for Ian's daughter Tracie who he would take to Waterlow Park in London. He wrote it when he was going through the divorce with his first wife. It is so sad, but very beautiful.
