Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - 7/14/94, pp.102-105
4 Stars - Excellent - "...Nobody sounds like Freedy Johnston. He's an American original...for the most part, Johnston seems incapable of writing a tune that doesn't stick..."
Spin - 8/94, p.83
Highly Recommended - "...THIS PERFECT WORLD rocks in spite of its trappings, pouring diminished, subversive fervor into formulas that feel as exhausted as the song's characters..."
Musician - 8/94, p.86
"...In its lyrical sophistication and melodic invention, THIS PERFECT WORLD is nearly perfect...the temptation to plumb the depths with Johnston's characters is almost irresistible..."
Village Voice (2/28/95) - Ranked #13 in the Village Voice's 1994 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll.
Mojo (Publisher) - 1/95, p.51
Included in Mojo's "25 Best Albums of 1994" - "...repeated plays drive the Beatlish tunes permanently into your brain and you're totally at the mercy of its gentle charm."
