    What elevates this bove a cheeky tribute is the unselfish sweetness that Schwartz mixes with his smarts. [Feb 2008, p.94]

    The joy and silliness are enough to keep the record out of sleazy Har Mar Superstar territory, but it also means that there is a serious lack of substance on the record.

    Neither here nor there, the funklesss would-be dancefloor fodder of P.D.A. frankly comes off D.O.A.

    PDA is a great pop album-kind of a meta commentary on pop culture but totally sincere at the same time.
