    It is fair to say that this album is hardly groundbreaking ... but there is something undeniably appealing about Tom Petty's music. I recently purchased 5 albums along with Highway Companion - and I would definitely rate this as the weakest of the bunch. However, when it comes to choosing a soundtrack to my journey home from work each day - Petty wins almost very time! 'Nuff said.

    If [Petty]'s third solo album proves to be his last, he has delivered one of rock's most eloquent goodbyes.

    A surprisingly moody affair.

    It's... a more writerly exercise than typical of his concise and straightforward Heartbreakers hits. [23 Jul 2006]
