  1. Q Magazine
    60
    An adult rock record in which nuance succeeds over bombast. [Dec 2002, p.108]
  2. Uncut
    60
    A couple of songs could do with more melody and less of Mike McCready's spidery guitar breaks. [Dec 2002, p.132]
  3. Entertainment Weekly
    75
    Eddie's heartfelt lyrics rarely cohere... [but their] grooves still sound taut, emotive, and world-class.
