For The Go-Betweens fifth album, they added multi-instrumentalist Amanda Brown, and she broadened their sound and gave it more drama. The album is a pivotal one in their discography and sits as a stepping-stone between their early era, and their more richly textured later work. Paste Magazine included it in their list of the best new-wave albums and said that it features ""several signature works by the group's chief writers, most notably McLennan's infectiously chorused shoulda-been-hits ""Right Here"" and ""Bye Bye Pride,"" as well as such characteristically edgy Forster compositions as the undertowing ""House That Jack Kerouac Built"" and ""The Clarke Sisters,"" a haunting character study of spinsters that perfectly captures it's author's eye for detail.""
