David Riedel wrote in the New Haven Advocate: "Everyone forgets that Paul McCartney can make honest, guttural, fun music. Then he puts out a disc like this (he's The Fireman), and people scratch their heads wondering where the vitality came from. This is the guy who wrote 'Helter Skelter,' for Christ's sake. Nothing he does should surprise anyone. Why he waited so long to make the best album he's made in years? Who knows. But he's still got the goods. All the McCartney naysayers out there should listen to this record and then kill themselves" ("CD Shorts," 2/5/09, p. 30).
