Reviews3 stars out of 5 -- "The title track saves the day....It shows something sleek and ominous still looming in the fog of Hitchcock's imagination.", "Curiously, His Psychedelic Folk Rock Sounds more Youthful Now than It Did in the '80s.", "Backed once again by three members of R.E.M., Hitchcock sprinkles his lilting nocturnes, jingle-jangle garage rock, and casual anthems with pop glitter." -- Grade: A, 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Hitchcock brings Hollies-ish harmonies, horns and tastefully distorted guitars to 'Saturday Groovers' and a Western twang to 'Hurry for the Sky.'", 5 stars out of 5 -- "With superb arrangements that recall -- without ever imitating -- a range of influences that cover The Byrds, the Stones, country music and blues.", "Never shy of incorporating a wide range of styles into his music, Hitchcock mirrors his influences with thoughtful enthusiasm while throwing his characteristic sardonic humor into the mix.", "The strongest batch of songs Hitchcock has pulled out of his hat since the glory days of the Egyptians back in the 1980s....Hitchcock sounds like he is having more fun on this album than he has in years."
