Fireboy is the second solo album by Grant McLennan, a member of the Go-Betweens.

[4] In the album's liner notes McLennan said the songs were for Gloria Swanson, Kenneth Slessor, Brett Whiteley and Dean Martin.

[6] Trouser Press called the album "a near-perfect convergence of observant, passionate words and jangly, surging tunes.

"[9] The Calgary Herald wrote that McLennan "sings with conviction [and] poetic insight.

"[7] AllMusic wrote: "If there are hints of older rock styles here and there, McLennan's singing in particular still has the sharp, modern edge that helped make the Go-Betweens great, all while not losing his trademark warmth.
