    Well sang, but ultimately bland. It's an enjoyable album, but after a few spins it's a little on the forgettable side. No real killer tracks or lasting lyrical content.

    It would be easy to write off the album as pastiche but a confessional, honky-tonk-styled "Cigarettes," and the grit Merriweather puts into the immaculately fashioned grooves, show he's more about feel than fashion. [Jul 2009, p.95]

    This Ronson-produced collection of swinging '60s pop and blue-eyed soul is still well-crafted, with standouts. The problem is Merriweather's voice, which is technically agile but emotionally anodyne. [Jul 2009, p.127]

    Ronson fatigue will probably prove his undoing, but this is a very good album. [May 2009, p.87]
