"...much like the sound Weller explored with his late-'80s group, Style Council, only now with a high spark..." - Rating: A-, 3 stars out of 5 -- "Weller's solo debut...pulling together influences as diverse as Curtis Mayfield and Traffic...", "..a full-out homage to late-'60s/early-'70s soul...dreamy...What's really striking about this record is how improved Weller's vocals sound...", 5 stars out of 5 -- "Weller wrote songs which displayed a youthful vigour and musical vitality he has rarely bettered....A quiet classic..."
