Reception
Trouser Press called it "a near-perfect debut, marred only by flat production." In 1988, The Washington Post wrote that, "before the onslaught of corporate pop-rock... there was one L. A. power-pop combo that was for real: The Last, whose classic 1979 L. A. Explosion album influenced popsters and punkers alike."Personnel
