criticism

  • The website Allmusic wrote: “The remainder of the album is pleasant, but offers no distinctive melodies, which means that the albums sounds fine while it's on, but leaves nothing behind once it's finished.” (“The aftertaste of the album is satisfactory, offers but no elaborate melodies, which means that the album sounds good while it's playing, but leaves nothing behind when it's over. ”) The album got 2.5 stars out of five.
  • Entertainment Weekly awarded the rating C +. David Browne wrote: “As always, Collins is never less than melodic, but for a record meant to convey his newfound freedom - from Genesis and his wife - both the music and his delivery are oddly dry and passionless.” (“Wie immer ist Collins always above-average melodic, but for a record that is supposed to prove his newfound freedom - from Genesis and his wife - both the music and the performance are strangely dry and dispassionate. ")
