There isn't a dud among this project's 11 tracks, each of which sounds custom-made for radio.
-
Q MagazineAs radio-friendly as Radiohead are not. [Sep 2001, p.120]
-
Sugar Ray actually sound like a band -- a quality missing from most of their earlier work.
-
Although it's getting a trifle elderly to hear "Fly" endlessly reconfigured like the Rubik's Cube it turned out to be, that song is all over Sugar Ray...
-
It's essentially more of the same.
-
And while it might be difficult to swallow yet another dose of hip-hop-lite and poor-me acoustic pop songs from chick-magnet lead singer Mark McGrath and gang, these Southern California boys make the everyman breeziness work for them.
-
SpinThey're all pretty good, actually, especially "When It's Over"... [Aug 2001, p.129]
-
Keeping things light is both the band's strongest asset and its greatest weakness.
-
An amiable assortment of summer-radio fare, its only cardinal sins being its calculated and characteristic adherence to trends and "Stay On," an ill-conceived collaboration with 311's Nick Hexum.
-
In listening to Sugar Ray, it's easy to forget this band began as heavy guitar funketeers--its sound today is tame by comparison.
