Critic's Review
Thomas Schulte, All Music Guide
The odd-numbered of the first half-dozen tracks here are throwaways, in my book. It is especially insidious how Keneally infects the listener with the "potato chorus" to the opening number. Lyrically quirky, the songs are still possessed with a contrived, safe pop-rock feel that I do not want from a 'stunt guitarist' that first came to my attention through his work with Frank Zappa. Fortunately, the majority of the cuts I recommend to any pair of ears seeking unexpected and adventurous rock guitar. Four of the cuts feature fine, expressive grand piano, most notably "I, Drum-Running, Am Clapboard Bound." On the solid tracks, constant changes and surprises thrown into the arrangements and production guarantee long-lived entertainment and offer hope for the continued validity of rock guitar.
