    Good for us is that Weller does not refer to "pop" as in the music that pollutes the airwaves today - but pop like The Kinks, Traffic, Marvin Gaye and even a man named Paul Weller used to play.
    This is a great collection of 3-minute gems that is easy to listen to without being easy-listening.

    Weller seems incapable of releasing a downright bad album at the moment, but this isn’t one of his best.

    Weller may often be adventurous, particularly during the third act inaugurated with 2008's 22 Dreams, yet he rarely seems as loose and playful as he does here, and that sense of mischief is an unexpected and welcome gift.
