He reins in just enough of his debut's indulgent tendencies to let his gift for great melodies and hooks be the focus

4 stars out of 5 -- "This is a bold, daring and vibrant album....He is undoubtedly a star of the old school -- and a rare one at that.", “It’S a Technicolor Pop Explosion Designed For Throwing Your Jazz Hands Into the Air.” -- Grade: a, 3 stars out of 5 -- “Mika’s faith in the campy excess of Freddie Mercury/Elton John-style pomp pop is bracing.”, “He rewrites the hooks from your parents’ favorite Bon Jovi/Belinda Carlisle hit into earnest proclamations of teenage eccentricity...”, "This Beirut-born singer comes back strong with another set of over-the-top anthems that proves no one's more entitled to inherit Freddie Mercury's glam-god crown."
