"I'm not generally an alto fan, but this album made me a believer. Adderley was the master of the alto and this is his finest work. The ensemble are tight and lay down jazz that is hot, cool and swinging. Two big thumbs up." Reply

"These guys are punk. These guys are pop. The vocals are great and the instrumental is tight! Some remind Joe Strummer, others don't. A good rock'n'roll record in this era where it seems more and more outdated." Reply

"It's more fun than "Songs for the Deaf", although lacks the latter's maturity. Enjoyable as a whole, with some standout tracks: "Secret", "Chemistry" and "Headache" would be my top picks." Reply
