On ''Punch the Clock'' he's decided to show listeners he can add horns and female backup singers, and still get positive reactions from music critics. Well, not this one.

The songs are good, and Costello hasn't lost his flair for writing catchy lyrics. The horns are crisp, and jazz trumpeter Chet Baker stands out on "Shipbuilding," a quiet song perfectly suited for his style. | The songs are good, and Costello hasn't lost his flair for writing catchy lyrics.
