The combo may provoke an initial gag reflex in some listeners, but Grandson's impassioned vocal performance and the all-in gutsiness of the beat can't be denied.

I certainly admired the gutsiness of it, the big swing it took, but I also struggled to feel as emotionally invested in it as I was supposed to.

A comedy featuring a shipwreck survivor and the corpse he befriends, this defiantly loopy indie is worth saluting for the risks it takes, as well as for the gutsiness of its central performances.

I learned to respect the workmanship and quality of beautifully tailored Irish tweed, French silk, and Scottish cashmere; I admired the boldness of the silhouettes and gutsiness of the prints, forcing the rest of my outfit into submission around that solitary standout piece.

In postwar Britain, it seems, even actors had to climb the rope ladder of the class system; start by looking back in anger and, God willing, you could end up as a portly blueblood on the steps of 10 Downing Street, looking forward in gutsiness and hope.

Ms. Zbikowski, a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has a background in hip-hop, tap and West African dance styles — she trained at the Senegalese dancer Germaine Acogny's school — and those forms infuse "Abandoned Playground," with its gutsiness and serious regard for rhythm.

Unterberger wrote that the 1995 reissue of the album was "probably motivated by the exotica-space age pop revival". He called the album's music "more or less straight-ahead pop- calypso" that was "not that strange or cheesy". He complimented Angelou's performance, saying that she "sung with respectable gutsiness", and compared the album to Harry Belafonte's calypso recordings of the same era. Variety reviewed one of Angelou's live calypso performances, a gig in Chicago at Mr. Kelly's nightclub during much of December 1956.

Allmusic called the album one of her "better" efforts, since they had disliked her previous releases. Entertainment Weekly gave the album a positive review and said that Rimes's voice, "dares listeners to take note of what is missing in her interpretations – the gutsiness and gut-wrenching urgency of performers who felt what they sang." The album was a major success like her previous releases, debuting at number one on the Top Country Albums chart, topping the country albums chart for two weeks. It also peaked at number eight on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

The single, described as "insightful", and a "fond classic", became a cause célèbre in South Africa, Rhodesia, Kenya, and Mozambique. It sold more copies in South Africa than any single by Elvis Presley, as well as outselling any previous domestic single. The success of the song led to the popularity and acceptability of political satire in South Africa during later decades. The song aroused significant controversy, with many Afrikaners unhappy about the mixing of Afrikaans and English in the lyrics, and its "far- from-flattering" representation of working-class whites, although some praised it for its "gutsiness".

A review in The Morning Call considered 90125 one of the band's best releases, calling it the "missing link" between the popular earlier albums The Yes Album (1971) and Fragile (1971). It described Kaye's keyboard parts as "dreamy" and at times "a contemporary rock attack", favouring this style over the more flamboyant approach adopted by former Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman. The "stalwart" rhythm section of Squire and White "hasn't lost anything", and named Rabin as "the biggest surprise" of the group who "adds a much needed gutsiness". The review compared "Cinema" to a Jeff Beck track.

But the first sessions at EMI's studios were deemed unsatisfactory by the band and all but two tracks were scrapped. (The two tracks, "She Tell Me What To Do" and "No Law Against Having Fun" later surfaced on the LP Rock'n'Roll Sandwich.) Later sessions were recorded with different equipment at the Green Elephant Hotel and were more successful. The resulting LP, Rock'n'Roll Sandwich, was lauded by Glenn A. Baker as "one of Australia's finest rock albums, a fiery, cohesive work dominated by the superbly talented Kevin Borich and carried off by the reliable gutsiness of Peel and Barber." Touring behind the new LP, released in November 1973, the La De Da's enjoyed their most successful period to date, including supports for Elton John and Suzi Quatro on their Australian tours.

Slant Magazine's Eric Henderson gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars and commented that Hilson "misses the independence espoused by everywomen Khan and Houston and essentially says 'That's a good idea' to her reverse harem of producer- songwriters". Los Angeles Times writer Margaret Wappler commented that Hilson "is concerned with boundaries" and stated "nearly every song is cluttered with as much textural filigree as possible to distract from the absence of narcotic radio hooks". Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian noted its "conventional sex- and-love piffle" and wrote that the album "is muddled and devoid of the gutsiness the title leads us to". Rolling Stone writer Rob Sheffield called the album "hit-or-miss, with failed attempts at pop crossover (the Timbaland collabo 'Breaking Point') and sub-Rihanna reggae moves", but noted "Pretty Girl Rock" and "The Way You Love Me" as "the high points [...] worth digging out".
