"I bought thjis album when it first came out in the early eighties and still enjoy it as one of my favorites. Although Shadows does not have a super hit on it like Sundown or Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, it does have a lot of real good songs in the Lightfoot tradition. 14 Karat Gold, Baby Step Back, Blackberry Wine and Triangle all set a mood for the listener. Then there's Shadows, Heaven Help the Devil, In My Fashion and I'll Do Anything, all good songs without a doubt. I think Lightfoot was in his prime in this era, as this was about the time he stopped the drinking and really focused on his work. I have all Gord's albums in album form and in CD, so I can judge over his entire career and I think this is one of his best efforts for the quanity of real good Lightfoot songs."
