William Ruhlmann's review: "Much of the album was slight, but there was enough of an individual sound to the better material to think of the BoDeans as a band of considerable promise." 4 1/2 stars.

CMJ review: "they also write some of the most addicting songs we've heard-the hooks sink in immediately and stick."

Jimmy Guterman's review: "Though there are minor problems...the joys of this tough music makes such criticisms seem petty."
