Matthew Sweet wrote "Beware My Love" on his own, and it's one of the songs on In Reverse, his seventh album, released on Volcano Entertainment in 1999. Even the packaging played games: the cover, an oil painting by Margaret Keane, is printed upside down, and the liner notes run backward.
The record didn't sell much, but critics loved it. Rolling Stone called its songs perfect little valentines, blown up to full size by the production, Entertainment Weekly gave it an A− and praised its detours into dense thickets of guitar, and Stephen Thompson of The A.V. Club found Sweet back at his best across 14 uniformly strong tracks.
