Reception[]

The A.V. Club wrote: "By 1990, The Beach Boys were more brand than band, animated more by momentum and Mike Love's desire to keep some version of the group going than by any artistic ambition. You can find connections between 'Problem Child' and 'Wouldn't It Be Nice', but you might break something in the attempt."[2]
