The album was produced by John Wood and the band gained significant visibility after featuring on a Melody Maker front cover and in a very positive article by Allan Jones.[5]
Reception
Although the album did not chart at the time, it later achieved critical recognition. AllMusic said "more than 20 years after its release, Any Trouble's debut still sounds fresh, engaging, and exciting, packed with sharp tunes, clever observations".[1] Record Collector called it a "sprightly debut" and "a worthy selection to spearhead the first wave of records heralding the label’s relaunch."[3] Trouser Press, however, called them "a pub band five years after the end of that era, playing competent, melodic rock with no special character."[4]
