Review from allmusic.com
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Rhino's multi-volume Soul Hits of the '70s: Didn't It Blow Your Mind had hit
cruising mode by Vol. 5, which each disc containing a recognizable blend of
pop-soul, funk, smooth soul and vocal groups. One of the new trends to
surface during this time -- the summer of 1971 -- is protest songs, and there
are a pair of classics here: Freda Payne's impassioned Vietnam plea "Bring the
Boys Home" and the Undisputed Truth's paranoid "Smiling Faces Sometimes."
Of course, these two songs are balanced by a number of considerably lighter
songs, most of them either in a pop-soul/pop-funk vein of smooth soul. And,
like most volumes in this series, the lesser-known cuts -- the 8th Day's "She's
Not Just Another Woman," Dave & Ansil Collins' "Double Barrel," the Chi-Lites'
"Are You My Woman? (Tell Me So)," King Floyd's "Baby Let Me Kiss You" and
the Honey Cone's "Stick-Up" -- are as strong as the big hits (the Honey Cone's
"Want Ads," Jean Knight's "Mr. Big Stuff," the Beginning of the End's "Funky
Nassau, Pt. 1," the Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose's "Treat Her Like a
Lady"), which makes the disc another essential addition to any serious soul
collection.
