 Daily Vault - October 3, 2002
In my mind, their reunion is some of the best rock and roll news heard this year, regardless of worthy solo efforts like Blossoms guitarist Jesse Valenzuela's recent Tunes Young People Will Enjoy.
Valenzuela can write terrific, driving rock and roll numbers with fat, crunchy guitars -- a Blossoms specialty -- he just doesn't quite have the vocal wattage required to sing lead on them.
Instead, this solidly-crafted album suggests that, like a lot of other excellent songwriters in rock history, the most effective vehicle for Valenzuela's music is still the band he's attempting to stand clear of for a moment.

 Record (Metro Times Detroit)
The solo debut from Gin Blossoms guitarist/songwriter Jesse Valenzuela will come as something of a surprise to those still trying get incessantly hummable hits like “Til I Hear It From You” and Follow You Down” out of their heads.
Still, Valenzuela proves he hasn’t lost his gift for penning memorable hooks as the radio-ready balladry of “Looking For You” and the tightly wound dynamics of “Can’t Go Down” offer more than a faint echo of past glories.
On this first solo effort it’s clear Valenzuela’s is in the thick of his stylistic development; the record frequently finds him juggling a passion for blues-based grooves, power-pop heroics and writerly touches all at once.

 Gin Blossoms
The ballads "As Long as It Matters" and "Competition Smile" are heartbreakingly poignant, while "Memphis Time" (an acknowledgment of the good time they had recording the album in Tennessee) details a trippy hangover, set to buoyant music with a Cajun vibe.
Penned primarily by Valenzuela and Wilson, but with contributions from the other three members, "Congratulations" is a testament to the band's potential longevity.
If Valenzuela has his way, the Blossoms won't be the road warriors they were when they spent 2 1/2 years touring to promote "New Miserable Experience." He's optimistic that he'll be able to take some time off in January to move to Los Angeles, although the band is booked through March.

A friend of mine's comment puts it best; "It sounds like the Gin Blossoms." That might not seem like a positive review, but since the suicide of Doug Hopkins who penned almost all of their former hits, sounding like the Gin Blossoms is a good thing.
