Critical reception

The Washington Post wrote that "this band has been moving toward a traditional early-'60s New York rock sound: Springsteen territory, though the Lords aren't quite so overweening as the Boss."[5] The Dallas Morning News determined that "the band displays its seemingly unerring knack for melding melodies that are as lasting as they are immediate with lyrics that act more as stories being told than merely words that sound good strung together."[6] The Palm Beach Post concluded that "singer-guitarist Scott Kempner's thoughtful songs about the exhilaration and disappointment of love and romance deserve a hearing."[7]

Track listing

All songs written by Scott Kempner, except "Learn to Let Go" co-written by David Roter and "Stay With Me" co-written by Andy Shernoff.
