REVIEWS:
B+ "Their new identity is ominously mellow, but at least this time it's recognizable, and they've upped the speed a
little. A lot less muddled than Future Games and occasionally as rich as Kiln House, but so thoroughly homogenized that it's hard to remember exactly how the cream tasted once it's gone down." -Robert Christgau, Village Voice
****
"Future Games and Bare Trees saw Mac gaining its sea legs in the pop-rock field, with McVie supplying the feminine warmth to contrast Kirwan's more austere moodiness. The combination made the two best work until Phase Three (ed.: aka Rumours
era)." - John Swenson and John Milward, Rolling Stone
