"This album is fantastic. Yes, it may be very lo-fi, but the compositions and arrangements are superb. It's neo-progressive/experimental rock at its a absolute best. I can't say enough about this record." Reply

"James Brown's absolute highpoint is hard to pinpoint, as he released such a gigantic amount of records in his golden age, and for that same reason the records themselves were often filled with uninteresting fillers plus unimaginative reruns.

"I listen to an album like this and wonder why Wishbone Ash wasn't bigger. Super crisp instrumentation highlighted by the band's always excellent guitar work, made both accessible enough for casual listeners and intricate enough for deeper fans. Talk about a band full of hidden gems" Reply
"A worthy debut for the discography that followed." Reply
