At the time of release, he commented, "For me, doing a solo album or a Stones album is all the same, with one proviso: that when I'm writing for the Rolling Stones I don't mind if the song sounds like the ones the Stones do, whereas if I'm writing, but not recording with the Rolling Stones, I don't want the song to contain too many of the clichés that one associates with the Rolling Stones, so I try quite hard to avoid them.
Han sagde:” For mig er det at lave et solo album eller et Stones album det samme, med en forskel: Når jeg skriver for The Rolling Stones gør det ikke noget sangen lyder som noget The Stones spiller, hvorimod hvis jeg skriver, men ikke indspiller, med The Rolling Stones, vil jeg ikke have at sangen indeholder for mange kliches der kan forbindes med The Rolling Stones, så jeg prøver hårdt at undgå dem.
