    It is - and it sits comfortably besides Squeeze's finest works of the late '70s. It might even be better. [Apr 2026, p,92]

    The swathe of great moments here is impressive. .... Indeed, Trixies might be the duo’s personal masterpiece.

    Imaginative, impressive, and most importantly, fun.

    With their abundance of charm and good cheer, the performances ensure the patchier numbers still satisfy. More genuinely impressive are "You Get The Feeling" and "Hell On Earth", corkers that demonstrate the creative chemistry that was there since moment one. [Mar 2026, p.37]

    It's probably the most conceptually interesting record Squeeze have ever put out and also one of their most consistent and adventurous latterday works. [Apr 2026, p.60]

    The 2026 edition of Squeeze, anchored by bassist Owen Biddle (who produced the album), makes music that's rich limber, and they make the most of the ideas the group's songwriters dreamed up a few decades back.

    There are great bits where you can hear what the band Squeeze would become, but they’re bits. Fun and a good idea, but you won’t be throwing out East Side Story to make room for it.
