Reception

[edit]

David Fricke of Rolling Stone chose the album as his "Fricke's Pick", calling it a "big step in a bigger gamble", and described it as a "shotgun buffet, like those early U.S. LPs by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones that combined album tracks and singles from unrelated sessions, and it succeeds the same way: like an instant greatest-hits record".[2][1]
