" Jumping the Shark isn't completely pathetic, however, and more detached songs like "She's Mine" and "Mongrel" suggest that Cameron doesn't need to stick with the album's conceit to make compelling music. As he imbues his songs with more warmth than most synth pop and more distance than most singer/songwriters, Cameron charts his own territory on Jumping the Shark with striking and moving results".
