Stylistically,
Starting Over represented a more aggressive arena rock/hard rock sound
than previous albums in a way reminiscent of The Who, which was one of
the groups' biggest influences. The album also included softer ballads
such as "Rose Coloured Glasses" and "Cry".
Starting Over featured a
new line-up with Michael McBride (drums), who had drummed with Carmen
and Bryson in their previous band in the late '60s, Cyrus Erie, and
Scott McCarl (bass, vocals). Drummer Jim Bonfanti and bassist Dave
Smalley had left the band the previous year.
Bruce Springsteen's
drummer Max Weinberg has said that he based his early drum style
(particularly on the Springsteen album Darkness on the Edge of Town) on
Raspberries drummer Michael McBride's work in this album, while
Springsteen himself has also mentioned several times in live
performances that the title track is one of the greatest pop songs ever
written.
John Lennon, a Raspberries fan, particularly liked the song
"Overnight Sensation". He was present for part of the recording of the
Starting Over LP and, although not credited on the LP, is rumored to
have assisted with the mix, including "Overnight Sensation".
Critic
Mark Deming of AllMusic praised the album as "a fine farewell from one
of the best American pop bands of their era, though they didn't know it
would be their last album when they were making it." Billboard said that
it was "probably the strongest overall effort yet from this band.
thematically and musically" and rated "Overnight Sensation (Hit
Record)", "Play On", "I Don't Know What I Want", "I Can Hardly Believe
You're Mine" and "Starting Over" as the best cuts.
