barbed-guitar snag of this Cheap Trick sneak up on you. More toxic-guitar ravers like "Baby No More" would have been cool, but that's a minor beef. After all this time, these guys have still got it. You should get it." Paul Verna of Billboard said: "Cheap Trick is a glorious, tabula rasa return to form. Much that is classic and still contemporary about the band is on record here. This disc merits Cheap Trick a renewed heyday in a rock world as primed for princely power pop as it ever has been." Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic considered the album a "fine, distinguished comeback" and added: "Cheap Trick is indeed [the band's] most powerful, direct and melodic album in years. Cheap Trick keep their sound to the basics - loud guitars, crunching chords, and sweet melodies. The real key to the success of Cheap Trick is the reinvigorated songwriting and the result is a tight, melodic set of hard rockers and ballads." Steven Mirkin of Entertainment Weekly commented: "Cheap Trick try to re-create the hard-driving, baroque pop sound of their heyday. But this tentative, power-pop-by-the-numbers effort lacks the smarts and energy that gave "Surrender" and "I Want You to Want Me" its indelible charm. Only "Say Goodbye" and "Carnival Game" approach the earlier material's heady rush." Track listing All tracks by Rick Nielsen, Tom Petersson & Robin Zander except where noted.
