One Bad Habit is a vocal album by Michael Franks, released in 1980 by Warner Bros. Records. It was Franks' sixth studio album and the first to receive significant radio play in the United States.
Critical reception
A review in the May 3, 1980, issue of Billboard lauded Franks's "cool, airy harmonies gliding over his silky melodylines [sic]" and noted that the songs "He Tells Himself He's Happy" and "Still Life" are reminiscent of Paul Simon's "I Do It for Your Love" and "Still Crazy After All These Years" because of their "understated lyrical beauty." (Later in 1980 Simon released One-Trick Pony, his follow-up to 1975's Still Crazy After All These Years as well as the soundtrack album to the film of the same name, written by and starring Simon; in his review for Rolling Stone magazine, Stephen Holden referred to the tracks "That's Why God Made the Movies" and "Oh, Marion" as "lighter exercises in the hip-jive style of Michael Franks.")
