A Hundred Thousand in Fresh Notes

Upon its release, Paul Lewis of the South Wales Evening Post praised A Hundred Thousand in Fresh Notes as "excellent" and continued, "The songs are accessible with enough quirky touches to lift them out of the ordinary soft rock bracket. There's little chance of this being a monster seller and that is a pity." The Newcastle Evening Chronicle commented, "Gouldman and Gold team up again and get off to a fine start with the melodic yet rhythmic 'Anchors Aweigh'. Obviously a lot of thought and care has gone into this album, from composing to performing and producing." Paul Taylor of the Manchester Evening News noted the album "is not an unqualified success", but added "there is plenty of high quality songwriting and fresh instrumentation outweighing the less-inspired tracks". ==Track listing==
