      • Rides is the third album by the Somerset rock group Reef, released in 1999.
      The album peaked at No. 3 on the UK Albums Chart.


      Production


      Recorded in California, the album was produced by George Drakoulias.


      Critical reception


      The Guardian deemed the album "a characteristic mixture of bluesy riffs and shrieking, with passages of quasi-metal played off against nearly-ballads with acoustic guitars for added 'sensitivity'." The Sun Herald thought that "Drakoulias's production is workmanlike but it's a frill-free style that sits comfortably with the band's meat 'n' potatoes arrangements."
