Rezeption
Rezensionen
Thom Jurek von AllMusic schrieb: „Coverdale has always stuck very close to his blues-rock roots and continues to mine them; his brand of ROCK with chugging outsized guitars is palatable because of his reliance on crafting excellent choruses and hooks. It's a hell of a comeback and ranks right near the top of the Whitesnake catalog. “ Er wertete mit vier von fünf Sternen.[2]
