"Of all of Westerberg's solo albums, 49:00 comes closest to recapturing the spirit of the Replacements, but it doesn't do so by doggedly re-creating the 'Mats' drunken mess; instead, Westerberg reconnects to the joyous, reckless sense of adventure that fueled his earliest work, and by doing so his scruffiness is once again endearing and hard to resist."
Impressive 4 of 5 stars.
