AllMusic: This set yielded some of the strongest Coe songs of the 1980s (and that's saying something): ‘Jody Like a Melody,’ ‘If Only Your Eyes Could Lie,’ and ‘The Ten Commandments of Love.’ And ‘Southern Star,’ with its searing lyric and screaming guitar solos, is among his most under-recognized, poetic tomes worthy of being recorded by .38 Special or Lynyrd Skynyrd.
