    Mercy's rootsy, rueful tunes have a pleasant, low-key feel. [22 Jun 2007, p.69]
  2. An honest, humble, rootsy record that shows the band maturing.
  3. Alternative Press

    On the whole, the songs are more tuneful and airy and less spastic than previous riot-on-the-stage efforts. [Mar 2007, p.143]
  4. They still sound generic – a bar band in search of songs.
  5. While the first album by the “new” Mooney Suzuki might be a step up from their last record, Alive & Amplified... it’s a far far cry from the exciting sounds of their glory days.
  6. Unfortunately, “almost as good as Steve Miller” is about as good as things get.
  7. Under The Radar
    40
    A reconstituted lineup has stripped the band of much of its ass kickin' swagger. [Summer 2007, p.91]
  8. Q Magazine
    20
    Their attempts at songwriting here are woeful. [Sep 2007, p.95]
  9. Spin
    10
    Soul-free, thirdhand melodies housed in songs that any halfway decent bar band would reject without a second pass. [Feb 2007, p.85]
