Review
<p>This 24-minute, five-song EP contains two versions of the title song, a meditative ballad about the mysteries of women, the first the version heard on Greatest Hits and the second a different take done with an appealing string arrangement that gives it some of the flavor of such early Bruce Springsteen songs as "Incident on 57th Street." The disc is filled out by a live version of "Murder Incorporated" recorded at the New York nightclub Tramps in early 1995 with the reformed E Street Band; "Thunder Road" from the 1992 MTV Unplugged show, previously unreleased in the U.S.; and "Pink Cadillac," previously released as the B-side of "Dancing in the Dark" in 1984.</p><p>— <strong>William Ruhlmann</strong></p>
