"A nice album, similar to this year's Case, Lang and veirs. Good songs, nice arrangements and wonderful performances from Dolly, Emmylou and Linda make this a thoroughly enjoyable record. Sweet music."  Reply

"Swing out Sister's music is happy and uplifting imo. There are some great tracks here, Breakout, Surrender and Fooled by a Smile are particular favourites. Most tracks are underpinned by really simple yet effective electric bass lines. As fresh today as when it was released in the eighties."  Reply
