At Home With Cherry Twister is the second studio album from American power pop band Cherry Twister. Following its release, Cherry Twister went on indefinite hiatus.
Critical reception
[edit]The album was particularly well received by British music journalists.[1] In Shake Some Action: The Ultimate Power Pop Guide, John M. Borack writes "there's nary a false move to be found in At Home With Cherry Twister".[2] The New Zealand Herald said the album "boasts all the virtues of great power-pop".[3]
In a negative review, Jason Damas of AllMusic said of the album embodies "the D.I.Y. ethic of Ram-era McCartney while sounding like they spend lots of time listening to Beach Boys and Big Star records," but that it fails to "stumble across anything resembling a truly memorable hook."[4]
