    While the songs are sturdy enough to withstand such gentle rocking, this is a vibe record, the sound of an old pro playing not because it's necessary but because it's fun.

    Wyman and his band soon settle into a series of mid-tempo songs whose predictable arrangements are matched by bland lyrics and a voice that sounds like it would much rather be someplace else. [Jul 2015, p.84]

    Taken overall, it does gather moss, but that’s to be expected from a man of his vintage.

    Sadly, Wyman can neither sing nor write a decent song.
