The surreal little stories are delightful; it’s a shame for the exclusion of the best-made track ('Filthy Bird'). The Hitchcock of 1998 is no longer much inclined to pretend to be Syd Barrett, and if in general this is a great fortune, here the interpretations lack punch.

Storefront Hitchcock, the soundtrack to Jonathan Demme's live documentary, captures Robyn Hitchcock performing acoustic versions with a surreal and intimate vibe. While the album offers delightful storytelling and reinterpretations, it lacks the energy and punch typical of Hitchcock's work.

Many of the unreleased tracks are second and third-rate rejects (nadir the barely sketched-out cover of Roxy Music’s 'More Than This'). Shameful the absence of 'Arms of Love', misleading the diachronic criterion.
