Critical reception
Dan Kuchar of Country Standard Time gave a mixed review. He thought that Bonamy's singing voice had "power and flair", but criticized the songwriting of most songs other than "I Don't Think I Will" and "The Devil Goes Fishin'".[1]

gollark: I suppose you also have to assume that the child has a 100% chance of helping you with your thing.
gollark: The assumption there is of course very assumptive.
gollark: If we approximate it by saying that having and raising a child consumes 50% of your resources and the other half of said resources can be used on direct contributions to things, and the child will definitely help with whatever your goal is, than the child provides a 50% benefit.
gollark: Children *are* quite expensive, but it's possible that a reducing population would actually be bad for future development of civilization and such - you would have fewer 1-in-1-million geniuses or something.
gollark: What?
