The laid back rhythm and blues and saccharine pop offered up on the debut solo album of drummer Peter Criss was a bridge too far for many young KISS fans at the time, but catchy songs like "That's the Kind of Sugar Papa Likes," with Peter's signature shuffle and a powerful vocal performance, and the autobiographical "Hooked on Rock and Roll," both elevated by the guitar work of Steve Lukather, are stand out tracks and the poignantly haunting cinematic ballad "I Can't Stop the Rain," is a worthy successor to Beth and Hard Luck Woman.
