    Mercy's rootsy, rueful tunes have a pleasant, low-key feel. [22 Jun 2007, p.69]
  2. An honest, humble, rootsy record that shows the band maturing.
  3. Alternative Press

    On the whole, the songs are more tuneful and airy and less spastic than previous riot-on-the-stage efforts. [Mar 2007, p.143]
  4. Under The Radar
    40
    A reconstituted lineup has stripped the band of much of its ass kickin' swagger. [Summer 2007, p.91]
  5. While the first album by the “new” Mooney Suzuki might be a step up from their last record, Alive & Amplified... it’s a far far cry from the exciting sounds of their glory days.
  6. Unfortunately, “almost as good as Steve Miller” is about as good as things get.
  7. Spin
    10
    Soul-free, thirdhand melodies housed in songs that any halfway decent bar band would reject without a second pass. [Feb 2007, p.85]
