Joyce Millman's review: "Its very lack of cohesion gives it a strangely persistent allure; it keeps calling you back, like the last two clues you can't figure out in the New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle."
Nicky Baxter's review: "Elvis Costello wants to be taken seriously as a singer as opposed to a musician, but on his latest album, full of ballads and almost entirely devoid of balls-out rock, he misses his goal."
(June 20, 1996)
