 Against the odds Johnson survived the cancer.Some of the musicians working with Johnson and Daltrey were current and past Blockheads members Dylan Howe, Norman Watt-Roy (who also worked on Daltrey's 1984 album, "Parting Should Be Painless"), and The Style Council's former keyboardist Mick Talbot.At "The Oakland Press", Gary Graff rated the album three out of four stars, writing that "If this is indeed Johnson’s last gasp, he’s made it a memorable howl."
