All tracks are written by Michael Franks, except where noted
Music critic Alex Henderson had mixed feelings for the album, writing in AllMusic that it "isn't one of the pop/jazz singer's better albums, but it has its moments." He was critical of Peggy Lee's duet in "You Were Meant for Me", but thought highly of the "String of Pearls" and "Monk's New Tune" tracks produced by The Yellowjackets.[2]
Stanton was more positive for his review on Audioholics, commenting that "Michael Franks was in top form for this release: catchy, cynical lyrics and great music from great musicians."[3]
