    This seventh studio album doesn't find them doing anything much different but still doing it with grit and conviction. [Dec 2009, p. 113]

    Like 2003's electronic-based Dakota, their seventh album works when it breaks the mould.
  3. All Music Guide
    60
    The relatively stripped-down setting winds up letting the rockers of the album’s first half latch in, particularly the rather propulsive “Trouble,” the nimble “She’s Alright,” and rolling “I Got Your Number,” and does keep the succession of anthems and ballads on the second half from seeming too languid.
  4. Q Magazine
    60
    I Got Your Number is a sexy, snarling glam rocker, Wonder recalls Smashing Pumpkins at their sunniest and Stuck In A Rut has the strut of prime-time Black Crowes. [Dec 2009, p. 110]

    After 10 years and a greatest hits tour, it may not be a completely fresh start, but it is a reassuring feeling you get when this album winds to it's 45th minute close.… Expand
