“I Tried To Tell You,” “Listen Baby,” and “Right On Time” are ballad type songs that are interspersed throughout the album. They are nice counterpoints to the up-tempo funk numbers and allow the listener to catch his or her breath. The album closes with the seven plus minute instrumental “Images Of Us.” Here Duke returns to his jazz roots as he turns his keyboard virtuosity loose on a creative journey of sound. Dukey Treats is a solid outing by George Duke and proves that funk is still alive and well and worth listening too.
"A sinister cabal of superior writers."
