The 12 songs on the album don't necessarily jump out at the listener on the first listen. Instead, it's more of a slow seduction. Scialfa, who penned all the songs on the album, incorporates a '60s-style vibrato reminiscent of Ronnie Spector; however, the production is low-key compared to '60s girl singers produced by Phil Spector. There's not a bad song in the bunch, and the title track is a gem. Mr. Scialfa is a lucky man to have such a lovely and talented wife. ~ Tim Griggs

Editorial Reviews
3 Stars - Good - ...her voice has a vulnerable bruised quality many will find attractive and the playing is expert without being showy...
Q (19930801)

...Purring and shouting passionately about the trials and rewards of romance, Scialfa's sensual delivery makes this a perfect album for hip-grinding slow dance... - Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly (19930716)

3 1/2 Stars - Very Good - ...the emotional ambivalence and sexual candor of a mature woman....Scialfa's songs garner their charm, and strength, from a perspective that is distinctly feminine and from the insights engendered by her own rigorous introspection...
