Reviews
- AcousticMagnet[verification needed] (4/99-5/99, p.62)
- "...a delightful composite of 16 songs that gives an even-keeled introduction to his intelligent songwriting and smoothly honed skill on the guitar..."[1]
- CMJ (2/1/99, p.26)
- "...Belew's most penetrating pop songs may exude goofiness, tenderness or both....If Belew's altar wasn't so crowded with guitar geeks, singer-songwriter fans would be lining up to praise the guitarist's equally noteworthy talents with the pen."[1][2]
