It’s a loose sound that suits Hynde’s familiar, slurred vocals

The true appeal of Alone is how it marries solid songwriting with a sympathetic, surprising production, all of which amounts to a very satisfying Pretenders album

These songs glow and grow on you and, with vocals that were recorded in a quick 48 hours, maintain the edge the best Pretenders music always displayed

Not every track is a killer, but most snarl (or sweet-talk) their way into the Pretenders’ lofty canon

Hynde is in fine voice here. However, much of the material is unmemorable
