AllMusic

Holiday Man is the second studio album by American rock band the Flys. It was released on August 25, 1998, through Trauma Records. The album spawned two singles, "Got You (Where I Want You)" and "She's So Huge", both of which charted on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Critical reception

The Washington Post deemed the album "a little bit hip-hop and a whole lot rock-and-roll ... This is a band that could use a new attitude as much as fresh style." The Record thought that "the Flys would be wingless if it weren't for guitarist Peter Perdischizzi's inventive riffing and knack for strong melodies."

AllMusic wrote that the album "succeeds on inspired performances and their willingness to experiment with the standard alt-rock songwriting formula."
