What the Critics Say
Following the unexpected chart success of the 1972 single "Come On Over to My Place," the Johnny Moore-led Drifters remained in London and reunited with producers Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway for Love Games, a further update and refinement of the storied group's signature sound for an era dominated by funk, Philly soul and disco. At best, the Drifters' buttery harmonies fuse seamlessly with the plush production--at worst, the group sounds as if they just awoke from suspended animation, confronted by a musical world that's frightening and confusing. It doesn't help that Cook and Greenaway's songs are rather uninspired, rehashing the era's clichés at the expense of new ideas or heartfelt sentiments. Just because this Drifters lineup is authorized doesn't mean it's the real thing. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
