Industry Reviews
...This, the band's third effort, has its share of poignant melodies, but the feeling of enervation it induces is deadly. - Rating: B-
Entertainment Weekly (06/07/1996)
3 Stars - Good - ...A more intensely rendered work than anything they've offered before, it remains rooted in the finely honed languid country of their previous albums....Grant Lee Phillip's lyrical twists have now reached levels of Dylan-like complexity...
Q (07/01/1996)
3 Stars - Good - ...[evokes] the simple pleasures of small-town America, finding metaphors for life and relationships in a summer rainstorm...and a beaten-up old easy chair. But these romantic visions are juxtaposed against perverted ideals...
