Editorial Reviews
Included in Q's list of `The 50 Best Albums Of 1993' - ...those thrilling, wide chords and hipster lyrics are timeless tricks...
Q (01/01/1994)
3 Stars - Good - ...Fagen's new songs are sleek, witty confections, delivered in his familiar sweet-and-sour bray and enveloped in immaculate pop-jazz arrangements that have a pointillistic precision...
Rolling Stone (08/05/1993)
...delivers at least two beauts in `Snowbound' and `Tomorrow's Girls.' Crazy nice...
Spin (08/01/1993)
...a supremely seductive, elegant work....Fagen is an illusionist, a cineastic composer with all the adorable idiosyncrasies and flourishes of Ellington, or Woody Allen, and he possesses both those artists' gift for making such qualities inseparable...
Musician (07/01/1993)
4 Stars - Excellent - ...Exquisite rather than lush, the music is not only sensually brilliant but exactly catches the subtle paradoxes of Fagen's dreamworld....Fagen's laconic voice of muted anxiety casts a soft blue light on this gleaming musical roadster...
Q (07/01/1993)
...miraculous....
Melody Maker (05/29/1993)
7 - Very Good - ...Donald Fagen is still in touch with aspects of his greatness....
NME (05/29/1993)
...picks up almost where both men left off when Steely Dan unofficially disbanded around 1981....recalls a time when musicians and producers would spend months or years in the studio in search of the perfect pop record... - Rating: B-
