Editorial Review:
Younger country fans who kick themselves for missing the glory days of Lefty Frizzell and Merle Haggard should thank their lucky stars that they're living through the glory days of George Strait, one of the field's true giants. After a dangerous flirtation with pop compromise on the Pure Country soundtrack, Strait bounces back with a terrific album that sounds as if it came straight from a south Texas dance hall. Nearly every song boasts the kind of slippery swing and straight-up singing that makes this Texas rancher's son the latest link in a chain that stretches back through Willie Nelson and Bob Wills. --Geoffrey Himes
Easy Come Easy Go Reviews:
Had the tape, wanted the CD. 
2009-09-04 - I already had this album on tape, but wanted it on a CD. I've loved these George Strait songs for years, my favorite being LOVE BUG.
A Timeless classic
2009-06-28 - A remarkable mix of hits that really grows on you. HIghly recommended for a neophyte country fan who want to sample some of the very best.
King George - great CD
2008-03-30 - This is a difficult CD to find. I can't understand why. Every cut on the CD is great. The title track is still popular on radio.
Herbie goes country 
2006-04-04 - "Lovebug" and "Stay out of my arms" are two gems, no mistaking it. The other tracks are fluff. I'm glad I bought it for the above two, three stars.
One Of His Better Early 90's Efforts 
2005-09-16 - "Easy Come, Easy Go" is probably my favorite George Strait album from the early 90's. Things start off perfectly with "Stay Out Of My Arms." It's a swinging Texas tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. "Just Look At Me" has that same Texas twang to it, but at a slower pace. The rest of the album is a great mix of love songs and love-done-wrong songs. The only song that really feels out of place with the rest of the album is the title track. Don't get me wrong, it's a great song, but it doesn't have as much Tex in it as the other songs do. Even the Sinatra-esque "We Must Be Loving Right" sounds like part of this album.
Of course, "Lovebug" and "The Man In Love With You" are probably the most recognizable tunes aside from the title track, the other songs on this album are really good. One of my personal favorites is "I Wasn't Fooling Around."
In short, if you like George Strait, this is one of his better albums. Just about anything you buy from this guy will be pleasing to the ear, but I do recommend this album above some of his other 90's discs.
