3 stars out of 5 -- "On the emphatic 'I Don't Wanna Be The One' and the tender 'She Wakes When She Dreams,' Lucero almost match Jeff Tweedy's pre-Wilco outfit Uncle Tupelo.", "The Memphis-based hell-raisers decided to return to their Southern roots....The band have traded in their distortion pedals for generous helpings of keyboards, accordion and organ...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The band's restless, energetic twin-guitar assault, mingled with studio vet Rick Steff's piano, sells the drama without overplaying it.", "Like Cash, Young or Westerberg, Nichols sucks emotional exhaustion through is lungs and coughs it up like a throatful of ash, sounding decrepit and old without apology.", "Lucero have crafted an album that serves as a proper tribute to their musical inspirations while fully presenting their own unique voice."
