Other Notes

In the notes to the Carpenters: The Compact Disc Collection, Richard Carpenter wrote:

This album is much in the same vein as Horizon. Two songs stand out for me: I Need To Be In Love with its melancholy John Bettis lyric. This became Karen's favorite Carpenters song and One More Time by Lewis Anderson is a lovely combination of music and lyric.
