"When Jay Filippone plucks the right lyric and the right melody out of the air and John Spokus and Pete Kuhn put the right beat under it, they do more than just ape the classic guitar-pop canon; they add to it." - (March 1999; Baltimore City Paper) "This album slaps you in the face pretty early on and for the most part the sting never really fades." - (Liner Notes; June 1999) "The accelerating thrust is aimed squarely at the chorus, where the payoff is an irresistibly catchy pop-rock melody. As the three-part harmony vocals join the jangly guitar figure and the undiminished momentum, all those frustrations are magically transformed into renewed hopes." - (Geoffrey Himes; Lifetimes; April 1999) "Highly improved over the last disc they sent my way. Tighter, harder driving, and better produced hook-filled bar-band pop. Could give those bands on big Deal (Splitsville, Gladhands, Barely Pink) a run for their money." - (Yeah Yeah Yeah; Issue #14; Spring 1999)
