Brief review in Billboard, Aug. 5, 1989:
Changing pace from his I.R.S. debut with band Reckless Sleepers, singer/songwriter Shear goes a Dylanesque route with a spare release featuring his singing and guitar accompaniment by Willson-Piper of The Church. Songs are tuneful and often moving, but subdued atmosphere and in-the-raw presentation will make this fine work a tough sell, especially among cautious programmers. Still, a bracing diversion.
