Frank W. Hoffmann described McKuen's poetry as "tailor-made for the 1960s, poetry with a verse that drawled in country cadences from one shapeless line to the next, carrying the rusticated innocence of a Carl Sandburg thickened by the treacle of a man who preferred to prettify the world before he described it".Robert C. Solomon described McKuen's poetry as "sweet kitsch,"Nora Ephron said, "For the most part, McKuen's poems are superficial and platitudinous and frequently silly."Karl Shapiro said, "It is irrelevant to speak of McKuen as a poet."Julia Keller said "Millions more have loathed him, finding his work so schmaltzy and smarmy..." and that his work "drives many people crazy. They find it silly and mawkish, the kind of gooey schmaltz that wouldn't pass muster in a freshman creative-writing class" while stating that "The masses ate him up with a spoon, while highbrow literary critics roasted him on a spit."So much for those highbrow literary critics and academics. It is true that his poetry isn' particularly deep. Rather it is his personal reflections and reminiscences on the world around us. Unlike those high brow critics and academicians, his work is short and easily understandable by the general public. There are none of those long words you need to look up in the dictionary to determine what he means or complex linguistic structures that you need to untangle to understand what he is saying. Much of his poetry is simply descriptive, providing a word picture of his observations or events.This is easy listening at its' best. If your nose isn't stuck too far into the air, you'll probably find this a great album to listen to during those reflective times in the quiet and comfort of your home, perhaps with someone who's special to you.The sound quality of this album is top notch. The producers have add a dozen tracks to the original album, giving you much more than you got from the original LP version or from earlier CDs that were digitized versions of the LP. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Memories *by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2021* One of my favorite High School memories, discovering the poetry of Rod McKuen. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Thank goodness! *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2016* When Rod McKuen died, it occurred to me that all I had were 33 RPM LPs. I searched and searched and finally found this Deluxe Edition of Listen to the Warm. I was thrilled when I received it in "like new" condition, complete with extra bonus material. Get yours while they're still around.
