When it was first released in 1976, Resolution garnered great critical acclaim and reached #104 on the Billboard Album charts. Even Rolling Stone claimed that Pratt "has forever changed the face of rock". While that does seem far-fetched, this is still is one of the finest singer-songwriter albums of the '70s. Pratt's expressive, but sometimes high-pitched, voice may not be everyone's cup of tea, there is no denying that the songs themselves were superb. Furthermore, the arrangements and intricacies within each selection were something to behold. No two songs sound alike, yet there is a thematic link between everything presented that being the power of love to pull, push, and sustain every human being. The idealism and optimism that is pervasive throughout is balanced by a sense of how hard it is to reach that point, and thus the hopefulness seems real and earned.
