    Review

    Russell Baillie from the NZ Herald gave the album 3 out of 5 saying; "The Aussie soul-rocker formerly known as Diesel has dropped the moniker for the first album of the Stateside part of his career, and come over a bit singer-songwriterly and serious. This makes for a solid album which runs a line between the guitar and voice anthemics of Radiohead and U2, a delve towards Crowded House with occasional reversion to his soul-rock stylings. It suffers from being over-produced but shows much proof of Lizotte's jack-of-all-trades talent and old fans should adjust easily."[5]
