John Lurie is a brilliant and amusing musician, and his work with his band the Lounge Lizards strikes a nice balance between his sensitive musicianship and his wit. He masquerades here as the legendary (and fictitious) blues nutcase Marvin Pontiac. The West African-inspired "Small Car" is a charming song, while others, like "I'm a Doggy," border on precious. ~ Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide
