Production

X somewhat moved away from songs drawn from personal experience to lyrics that explored social themes and current events.[4] "Breathless" is a cover of the song made famous by Jerry Lee Lewis; it played during the end credits of Breathless.[5]

The Philadelphia Daily News noted that, "with help from a vocal coach, Exene is starting to sound like a genuine singer instead of a mere squawker, and the whole group seems to be benefitting musically from its association with producer Ray Manzarek."[10]
