Yes It's You Lady

Reception

The album was peaking at #33 in Billboard pop charts, and at #6 on the R&B charts. The two follow-up singles to 1981's chart success' "Being with you" were strangely no Robinson compositions: "Tell Me Tomorrow" peaked at #33 Billboard and #3 R&B charts, "Old Fashioned Love" at #60 Billboard and #17 R&B charts. The third and final single, Robinson's "Yes It's You Lady" only peaked at #107 Billboard, without entering the R&B charts.

William Ruhlmann of AllMusic gave 2 out of 5 stars. Robert Christgau rated the album as B, praising Robinson's mature voice and singing, while complaining about the weakness of the "material". Concluding with "he almost gets away with it anyway".
