A very pretty album, both as a standalone and in the John Lennon cover context. All the players have great tone, they blend well, they create actual music, and the arrangements are good. Most of the covers are successful and all the tracks are playable.

*1. Jealous Guy--even, wistful, nice counterpoints, good arrangement, not overly cheesy
*2. Just Like Starting Over—driving, urgent tempo
*3. Beautiful Boy—sounds almost like Chinese music, more pentatonic at the beginning
4. Watching the Wheels—a sparser orchestration, where the melody is more obvious; reproducing the vocal rhythm on violin sounds awkward.
5. Mind Games—fuller orchestration, more constant sound, wistful, slow
6. Give Peace a Chance—like the original, too long and repetitive. Constant tambourine beat throughout entire song.
7. Instant Karma—steady driving beat, isolated melody line. Nice harmonies on the chorus.
8. Imagine—the melody is in the cello during the verses, so it sounds lower and more mournful.
*9. Woman—dense orchestrations, with more changes in tempo and key than some of the other songs. More dramatic-sounding.
*10. Someday (original)—very pretty and wistful; the most dramatic, soaring piece on the album. It sounds like what they wished the other tracks sounded like.
