Reviews
- "...witty and hugely entertaining." -- NAPRA Review
- "Most storytellers of this type (such as Spaulding Gray and Laurie Anderson) tend to pace themselves more carefully, using speed and intensity for climactic effect. Kling, on the other hand, maintains the speed and intensity (once in a while becoming more intense and going faster), instead using slow-downs and low-key elements as climactic points. In short, Kling will convince you, the listener, that he's quite the nut -- until you come awake to the fact that he really isn't..." -- All Music Guide (Read the complete review.)
