"Eric Clapton's defining one-off supernova ... The story of Derek And The Dominos and their ever-astonishing sole studio album starts with Eric Clapton craving anonymity after the failure of Blind Faith, and pouring his infatuation with Beatle George's wife Patti into searing song. It ends less than a year later, fans initially rejecting Clapton as singer-songwriter instead of guitar hero, album not charting, band disintegrating in a blizzard of hard drugs. Then in '72 the incandescent title track becomes a hit, igniting Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs' ascension among rock's greatest works".

"What really makes Layla such a powerful record is that Clapton, ignoring the traditions that occasionally painted him into a corner, simply tears through these songs with burning, intense emotion. He makes standards like "Have You Ever Loved a Woman" and "Nobody Knows You (When You're Down and Out)" into his own".

"Layla stands not just head and shoulders above anything else here but much else in the rock canon, sounding as moving and anguished as a song that's rooted in the agony of falling in unrequited love with the wife of a best friend should. The flashing dagger of a riff is one of the finest in history and Clapton duels magnificently with both his overdubbed self and Allman before an exhausted piano-based second act".
