"Best New Reissue" - "The latest in the band's series of expanded editions focuses on their second major-label record, the moment in which Paul Westerberg's punk impulses, pop instincts, and poetic soul came into focus as never before ... As any number of their more commercially successful peers slide ever more into the gaping maw of cultural obsolescence, now it's all Replacements all the time. Against all odds, they've got both feet in the door".

"It remains a great, perhaps the greatest, example of The Replacements' studio output. Whether you need all the extras, most of which are solid and worth hearing, depends on how attached you are to the contents and band. However, the detailed information in the accompanying book, and the many previously unseen photos, will deepen your understanding of the outfit, especially how they related to producer Dickinson during these storied sessions".
