AMG Review of Along the Red Ledge

Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guide

Continuing the more rock-oriented approach of Beauty on a Back Street, Along the Red Ledge is more successful than its predecessor, as the duo landed on a polished melodic pop/rock style that managed to retain their Philly soul influences without drowning their voices in distorted guitar flourishes. They would refine this sound two years later on Voices, the record that established them as pop/rock superstars.
