AllMusic Review by Nitsuh Abebe
The Potatomen's sonic stance -- somewhere between the pop-punk Lookout is known for (like the Mr. T Experience and indie pop (like a male version of Heavenly)
-- is almost always interesting, and it doesn't require a whole lot of
brilliance in terms of songwriting or production to remain appealing. Now churns out a tight series of songs in this vein -- the album doesn't have the Smiths' covering, melancholy charm of later releases, but even its more run-of-the-mill punk constructions (think of the Queers) are well served by the band's clean, jangling, indie tendencies and its healthy '50s and '60s pop influences.
