The combination of King and the well-oiled Philly rhythm section that powered hits by the O'Jays, Spinners, and Stylistics proved a surprisingly adroit one. Two huge hits came from this album, the Stevie Wonder/Syreeta Wright-penend title track and "I Like to Live the Love," both of them intriguing updates of King's tried-and-true style.

Review by Bill Dahl, Allmusic.com

An album often overlooked in B.B. King's long and prolific recording career; he began moving in a more soulful direction with his 1970 album "Indianola Mississippi Seeds", and continued this trend with his next two releases, "Guess Who" (1972), and this one. While the musical approach on "To Know You Is To Love You" is more soulful, King doesn't stray very far from his blues roots, as evidenced on the tracks "I Can't Leave" and his own "Thank You For Loving The Blues".

In many ways, this album and "Guess Who" are nearly identical; both bearing distinctive horn arrangements, courtesy of the Memphis Horns. King latched onto the then-popular brassy, soul sound of the early 70's and it worked for him. The title track was co-written by Stevie Wonder and Syreeta Wright, and Wonder makes a guest appearance on keyboards on most of the album. My favorite track here is "Respect Yourself", with it's funky, guitar and bass-driven groove and socially-conscious lyrics sung with authority by King.

Even as King was entering his third decade as a performer when "To Know You Is To Love You" was released in 1973, he proved that he was as fresh and vibrant as ever, and was able to effortlessly change with the times. Unfortunately, this and many of his 70's albums are becoming harder to find. This is a wonderful album, one worth seeking out; I recommend it highly!
