Reception

Template:Music ratings Reviewed at the time of release, Sounds wrote: "Mr Chapin is such a master at his particular craft that his music itself is totally middle class, boring and as bland as the outward appearances and the public lifestyles of the men and women in his songs. So what is Chapin trying to do? Express suburban, boredom and frustration in realistic photographic detail? He does that alright."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}Template:Subscription required</ref> The album sold poorly, but was voted Album of the Year by The Times of London.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
