Lindsey's never really been that great of lyricist, so I don't even really factor that in.
Big Love - Like it...prob my fave of his on the album
Caroline - ok...good, not great...never been a fan of electronic (sounding) drums...don't know how much of the drumming(?) on this IS Mick or if this was just pulled directly from what was to be Lindsey's solo album.
Tango In The Night - Another "ok" song...cheezy way out by tacking on the "I'm So Afraid" guitar solo.
Family Man - The Latin beat & the nylon string acoustic guitar solos make this for me...yeah, the lyrics are cheezy, but so?
You & I, Part II - Thanks to Stevie's BAD songs on the album, they keep this from being the worst song on the album. Should've just written Christmas themed lyrics and they'd have a good song for the holidays. "You & I, Part I" is far superior (well, it's basically a whole different song)
It wasn't until Lindsey finally released Out Of The Cradle that it was pretty obvious that he'd kept the direction of his solo album intact for those 5 years from the time TitN was finished and OotC was done. You can almost see which songs from OotC he had to rewrite to replace the songs that were used here.
Big Love - Doing What I Can
Caroline & Tango In The Night - This Is The Time
Family Man - Surrender The Rain
You & I, Part II - Soul Drifter
