Reception
Cash Box said "This collection of eleven original compositions produced by Robie Porter ranges from the heavy rocker 'I'm Your Superman' to the polished and full Weep No More'. 'Misty Water Woman' and 'The Liar' are splendid examples of Rick's songwriting virtuosity as each reflects several contiguous textures that are rough and refined alternately. This LP is well worth getting into."[2]
