Review

Rick Springfield's follow-up to his commercial breakthrough Working Class Dog wasn't quite as consistent, but it contained a number of solid power pop tracks, including "Calling All Girls," "What Kind of Fool Am I," "How Do You Talk to Girls," "The American Girl," and the Top Ten hit "Don't Talk to Strangers." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
