Album Review

The skiffle craze threatened to make a comeback in England with the success of the irresistible single "Perfect" and Eddi Reader's gorgeous singing. Alas, First turned out to be the last of Reader's association with Fairground Attraction, though they managed to release a second album without her. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
