    What some see as derivative, unoriginal bollocks others view as honesty, craft and a lack of pretension.

    [Kelly Jones'] occasionally catchy songs are besotted with American-style blues-derived stomp. [26 Sep 2003, p.94]

    A great album that includes lots of nice tunes and a few so-so ones. But the good songs make them up.

    A very good album, which certainly doesn't deserve the poor reviews it has received. Good lyrics and melodies, a great chillout album
