1985 Original. “While It Is Generally True That Many Of Richman's Post-1980 Albums Are All But Interchangeable, With Their Earnest Naive Cheerfulness, This Stands As One Of The Best, If You Like His Schtick And Need To Make A Choice. The Production Is Sparse, Accentuating The Acoustic Guitar And The Doo Wop Harmonies (Both Male And Female), With Light But Purposeful Drums. Jonathan Covers His Usual Terrain Here: Juvenilia ("My Jeans," "The U.F.O. Man," "Chewing Gum Wrapper"), Cultural Heroes ("Vincent Van Gogh," "Walter Johnson"), And Optimistic Paeans To The Simple Pleasures Of Life ("The Beach"). Heart-Warming And Melodic Stuff That Might Well Sound Insipid In The Hands Of Others.” - Richie Unterberger
