"Extensive use of keyboards makes for a more textured sound than usual. Both energetic and melancholy, this is a better album than The Love of Richard Nixon would have you expect."
"Daniel Lanois' production may be a over-fussy at times, but mostly he adds a nice layer of atmospherics to a rock-solid collection of songs. Quality."
"This album caught SM in the transition between their New Wave roots, and stadium rock. Sounds like a slightly drugged-up U2 - not quite sure of itself, but a definite grower."
"Despite all the filler here (17 tracks? Pur-lease), the furious electric charge of Found That Soul, My Guernica and Freedom of Speech WFMC makes this a must-have for fans of rock with depth."
