Reilly famously, has criticised his previous recordings, claiming, "
It's all rubbish". This album though has received his own critical
acclaim.

"It's a great album", he says " For the first time in 25 years, I'm
pleased with my own album, I want it to succeed, and feel its good
enough to do that".
