Critical reception
NME wrote that "with amiable janglers the Fanclub providing a predictibly pleasant backdrop, Jad‘s syrupy ruminations on life -think Lou Reed on prozac- take on a certain primitive charm."[3] The Guardian wrote that "Teenage Fanclub make an ideal backing band, providing soft bubbles of guitar in 'Love Will Conquer' and bringing a surprisingly soulful touch to 'Power of Your Tenderness' and 'You Rock.'"[7]
