Critical reception

[edit]

HMV said:

  • Second album by the 2006 X-Factor finalists Brian and Craig, the inimitable MacDonald Brothers. A crowd-pleasing poppy selection of original tracks and cover versions, this album will appeal to fans of artists such as Simply Red, The Proclaimers and Wet Wet Wet. Includes the tracks 'Somethin' About You', 'Saturday Night' and 'I Want You To Want Me', and also includes a bonus DVD that includes two extra tracks and a fly-on-the wall documentary of the duo's rise to fame.
