5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful last fling, April 18, 2006

I'm disappointed by the negative reactions I've read to this wonderful album, which sadly turned out to be the group's swansong. Having seen them live back in 1996, when they were loud, tight and terrific, I saw the scope for stretching out that was fulfilled in their subsequent albums. "Smitten" shows a new depth in their songwriting (albeit tinged with melancholy) and Bill Janovitz has seldom been in finer voice, especially on "Postcard" and "Scottish Windows". The band's rockier side is not neglected; witness "White Paint Morning" and the broody "Knot In It", and Chris Colbourn chips in with some typical irony in "Rachael" and "The Bible".

Like all Buffalo Tom's work, repeated listening is rewarded. They remain one of the great underrated groups of the 1990s and I miss them sorely.

3.0 out of 5 stars My first taste of Buffalo Tom..., June 20, 1999

and I enjoy it. The first two tracks "Racheal" and "Postcard" remind me a good deal of the Wallflowers...the other songs are good, but not great. I like this CD, but then again, I got it for 6 bucks used, so I don't know if I would pay full retail price...

5.0 out of 5 stars Another gem from Buffalo Tom, June 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Smitten (Audio CD)

Yet another amazing piece of work from the most consistantly brilliant band of the 90s. A sharp step forward from Sleepy Eyed (which was also a terrific record) that is a great sounding and wonderfully creative work. Buffalo Tom continue to create amzing songs that work in the pop and rock world. Best cuts: "Racheal" "Knot in It" "Wiser" "See to Me" "Do You In" and "Walking Wounded"

Those are the best cuts...but the record is solid!
