Reviews: Psychedelic pop without the acid flashbacks. While I prefer the guitar-heavy sound of earlier vintage Salvation Army/Three O'Clock, infectious songs like "With a Cantaloupe Girlfriend" and "I'm Wild" stand out as peaks on this EP of comparatively spare, vocal-oriented melodies. Some might find this record cloying, but it's still recommendable. -Steve Spinali (from Maximum Rocknroll #5, March/April 1983)
