MaureenOSep 14, 2004Once again, Paul Westerberg has created a masterpiece. He has given the music world what it has lacked for too long; honest-to-goodness music. Westerberg's whimsical and thought-provoking lyrics never let up on this album.

May 19, 2016Get past the first son and it's the best total Westerberg album. Beautiful turns of phrase, heartbreaking weathered voice ... mature Paul ... letting go of including some hard rockers to please his past. He's let it go and it's outstanding.

Entertainment WeeklyRough-and-tumble folk rock with a winning--if self-conscious--DIY approach. [17 Sep 2004, p.76]

BlenderA poorly-recorded collection of lazily-written songs recorded by an artist whose muse deserted him long ago. [Oct 2004, p.131]

Under The RadarThe album is Westerberg at his extremes. [#7]
