''[Entertainment Weekly](/source/Entertainment_Weekly)'' reviewer [Alanna Nash](/source/Alanna_Nash) rated the album "C−", writing that "despite their gorgeous vocal blend, the Remingtons have surprisingly little to say... aside from 'Two-Timin' Me,' a pleasant enough piece of lightweight R&B, and 'A Long Time Ago,' the saga of a sadder-but-wiser lad who opted for fame and fortune over true love, the Remingtons seem content simply to skate on the surface of romantic emotion, perfecting a sugary brand of bubble-gum country." ==Track listing== {{Track listing | collapsed = | headline = | total length = | title1 = Everything to Lose | writer1 = [Jimmy Griffin](/source/Jimmy_Griffin), Richard Mainegra, Rick Yancey | length1 = 2:30 | title2 = [A Long Time Ago](/source/A_Long_Time_Ago_(song)) | writer2 = Mainegra | length2 = 2:23 | title3 = Eternally Blue | writer3 = Griffin, Mainegra, Yancey | length3 = 2:51 | title4 = [I Could Love You (With My Eyes Closed)](/source/I_Could_Love_You_(With_My_Eyes_Closed)) | writer4 = Mainegra, Yancey | length4 = 2:45 | title5 = [Two-Timin' Me](/source/Two-Timin'_Me) | writer5 = Griffin, Mainegra, Yancey | length5 = 3:06 | title6 = After Ours | writer6 = Ronnie Caldwell, Mainegra, Yancey | length6 = 3:21 | title7 = When Love at First Sight Goes Blind | writer7 = Mainegra, Yancey, Brandon Sinks | length7 = 2:54 | title8 = Takin' the Easy Way Out | writer8 = Griffin, Mainegra | length8 = 2:58 | title9 = That's Easy for Me to Say | writer9 = Griffin, Mainegra, Yancey | length9 = 2:48 | title10 = Take a Little Love | writer10 = Mainegra, Yancey | length10 = 2:50 }} ==Personnel== Compiled from ''Blue Frontier'' liner notes.{{Cite AV media notes |title=Blue Frontier |others=The Remingtons |year=1992 |type=CD booklet |publisher=BNA Records |id=61045}} ;The Remingtons * [Jimmy Griffin](/source/Jimmy_Griffin) - [lead vocals](/source/lead_vocals) (track 3, 7, 8); [background vocals](/source/background_vocals) (all other tracks); [high-strung guitar](/source/Nashville_tuning_(high_strung)) (track 1); [acoustic guitar](/source/acoustic_guitar) (track 4, 5, 8, 9, 10) * Richard Mainegra - lead vocals (tracks 2, 4, 5, 6), background vocals (all other tracks); acoustic guitar (track 1, 3, 7, 9, 10); acoustic guitar solo (track 3, 4, 9, 10) * Rick Yancey - lead vocals (track 1, 9, 10); background vocals (all other tracks); acoustic guitar (track 5); acoustic guitar solo (track 8) ; Additional musicians * [Larry Byrom](/source/Larry_Byrom) - [electric guitar](/source/electric_guitar) (all tracks except 1) * [Paul Franklin](/source/Paul_Franklin_(musician)) - [pedal steel guitar](/source/pedal_steel_guitar) (track 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10), Pedabro (track 2) * Bill C.
