About as good as a compilation album gets. Traffic had some iffy album tracks, especially in the early years, but every one of their records had some tunes well worth listening to. And this album picks out pretty much every one of those songs. A perfect 30-song sampler for one of the most underrated artists from the late '60s and early '70s.
