Production[edit]
The album was produced and mixed by Gene Holder and Dave Fridmann.[9]
Critical reception[edit]
Exclaim! wrote that "there are some subtle advancements here, like the overall production style of knob-twister Dave Fridman [sic], who has isolated Wareham's languorous vocals more dramatically than on any previous release."[10]
