Album Review
John Cougar's first albums were so bereaved of strong material that the lean swagger of "American Fool" came as a shock. The difference is evident from the opening song, "Hurts So Good," a hard, Stonesy rocker with an irresistibly sleazy hook. Cougar never wrote anything as catchy as this before, nor had his romantic vision of small-town America resonated like it did on "Jack And Diane," a minor and remarkably affecting sketch of dead-end romance. The rest of the record works better than his previous material because his band is tighter than ever before, making even his weaker moments convincing. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
