The music is subdued, which I like because it does not oevershadow the vocal at all. It's a sad song, obviously, but somehow hopeful at the same time. I think her vocals are very strong here.

I agree with all of this. I think the problem is that it is out of place on the album since there is no explanation of why she is singing about a chimp. I think the song is beautiful and clearly something Stevie was very emotional about. However, I think it would have made much more sense on a benefit album, etc. Or at least a dedication in the Street Angel album sleeve.
