MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide

Trouser Press wrote that "while the Men are heard at their best on singles — if you need proof, check out any of the three dozen (!) or so they’ve released — there’s enough dynamic sense in the band’s bag of tricks to sustain an album without ramalama burnout."
