"It's a well-known rule of the music biz that for every artist who breaks through, there are about a thousand others who are doing roughly the same thing who will never make it ... anything could be plucked from the disc and it would sound like a lost '70s gem. Not a hit, because everything here is just a little too weird, amateurish, or needy to hit the charts, much less top them. Numero did a fantastic job of retrieving these tarnished treasures, and Private Yacht is a must for anyone who wants to look behind the wood-paneled, laid-back facade of soft rock and discover its desperate, beating heart".
