Sadly there is little to commend what is a very ordinary album made up of nine songs lacking sparkle or originality. The instrumentation is reasonable, the orchestration at times good and the sound is clean but it really is a second rate album.

This is one of my least favourite BJH albums. They seemed to be struggling for direction and that is all too obvious. It has none of the charm of earlier and indeed many later albums and at times is downright tedious. Many of the songs are too long, too tedious and too boring.

The best track is John Lees' Just A Day Away (Forever Tomorrow) which at least has a reasonable hook line. Elsewhere there is very little to recommend.
