Reviews :
"On Living in the U.S.A., Linda Ronstadt made the ill-advised move to incorporate some current musical trends such as new wave into her successful formula. While some of the record sounds good, the majority of it is poorly executed, particularly her take on Elvis Costello's "Alison."" AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
