01Reception
Trouser Press said of the album "Some people just don't heed the warning signs of encroaching blandness. Cyclone Raymond is completely boring, a collection of tepid love songs that couldn't possibly please anyone other than a soft-rock radio programmer anxious to fill air time with anything inoffensively presentable."
