Critic's Review
Denise Sullivan, All Music Guide
After a seven-year hiatus from performing and recording her own material in full-length form, this "comeback" has all of the essential Phranc elements in proper alignment: there's humor on "Yer the One" and "Cuffs"; grief is addressed during "Gary" and the gently strident "Where Were You?" And then there are the songs that make you laugh and cry, like "Ozzie and Harriet." She delivers the line "Where's my Harriet?" in her perfect voice, filled simultaneously with the dueling emotions of hope and despair that unless you're dead, chances are it will touch some part of you. L.A. cats (and kittten) Steven McDonald, Tal Bergman, Phil Parlapiano and Anna Waronker step in to fill the spaces on bass, drums, accordion and vocals respectively.
