Smith delivers a CD packed with the sort of undeniable pleasures only the most churlish thug could deny.

PopMatters
Somewhere along the way, Smith lost his musical appeal, be it via constant, blatant commercialism or simply a decline in skills. Now, it seems, he’s found the qualities that made him such a joy in the first place; the only question remaining is whether anyone is still listening.

You know... I hear a lot of myself in these songs a little. Maybe less of the relationship issues on Ms. Holyroller maybe, but Mr. Nice Guy? I Wish I Made That? Could U Love Me? This type of awkward questioning alongside the fact that he even would make it into a record feels very me for a lot of reasons. It's ridiculous.
