The St. Petersburg Times wrote: "The Outfield specializes in what you could call an early '80s American Sound... It's music by recipe: You take hyper-macho hard rock and tone it down so it will appeal to the over-17 set."[9] USA Today called the band a "middleweight, pop-rock group."[10] The Los Angeles Times deemed them "nice, clean Anglo popsters with plenty of teeth in their smiles but none in their music."[6] Newsday opined that some songs "make Bon Jovi sound like innovators, make the Starship seem like a band on the cutting edge."[11]
All songs were written by John Spinks except noted.
