The Bottle & Fresh Horses

The Washington Post thought that "new songs as 'Buy American' and 'Fonder and Blonder' aren't quite so droll as the material on last year's Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy, but they do have an appealing good humor that complements their exuberant melodies."^[6] Trouser Press concluded that "'Heaven or the Highway Out of Town' and 'Good Year' are peppy little numbers, but it might as well be .38 Special playing them."^[7]

Billboard wrote that "the band's comic slant takes a back seat to its highly underrated songwriting."^[8] The San Antonio Express-News determined that "the music is carefully crafted, but it's also deadly serious—not to mention more country-and heartland-rock oriented."^[9]

AllMusic called the album "one of the best forgotten gems of its time," writing that "the group dreamed up an earnest, dustier sound, blending heartland rock & roll with elements of country and power-pop."^[1]
