The Austin Chronicle[2]

It was the band's first album after signing with Emilio Estefan.[5]

Critical reception

edit

The Austin Chronicle wrote that it's "not that Vallejo don't have their own sound. They do. One that sounds like 30 years of classic rock radio."[2] Texas Monthly thought that "the hooks are heavy, the power ballads are surprisingly sensitive, and the Latin percussion and Santana-inspired workouts are fluid and funky."[5] The Morning Call wrote that "the tepid yowling, forced funkiness, grunge-lite posturing and jam-band jive that pockmarks Into The New will make you want to kick sand in Vallejo's face."[6]
