Here's what was cut: A review by Jesse Fahnestock of Ink Blot Magazine was highly positive, describing the album as "a special record, one of those lifestyle albums you wonder how you ever lived without." Fahnestock continued: "It's a melancholy record, but not a depressing one: Mick Head writes with such honesty and sensitivity, even his bleakest lyrical settings warm the lonely heart." He praised the songs "Dragonfly" and "Sgt. Major" for nailing the "effortless jangling groove" of The Stone Roses, and hailed "Undecided" and "London Town" as "two of the best ballads ever written, and reminders why the acoustic guitar was invented."^[1]
