Pat DiNizio (album)

[1] The album features Smithereens members Jim Babjak and Severo "The Thrilla" Jornacion on guitar and bass respectively, as well as Kurt Reil of The Grip Weeds on drums, who also handles production duties.

Six of the album's ten songs first appeared on Revolutions, a 3-disc set (2 CD/1 DVD) available through Pat DiNizio's website in a limited edition of 300 copies in 2006.

[2][3] AllMusic's Mark Deming rated the album 3 stars out of 5, noting that although DiNizio "offer a few change-ups from the prototypical Smithereens approach with some spare, acoustic based numbers (such as "Night Without Sleep" and "Love") ... [other songs] are his old band in all but name".

And while the gloomy "Since You Went Away" and "Sometimes" attempt to take DiNizio's songwriting into a new direction, Deming felt that "the results just don't stretch as far from established territory as they need to have an identity of their own".

Deming concluded that the album "sounds less like a solo effort than a slightly misbegotten Smithereens disc, and DiNizio's back catalog demonstrates he can do better than this".
