"I realize Beefheart himself wasn't a fan, because of the production, but the album itself is great. The final product is what it is. I prefer it to the exhausting Mirror Man sessions which overcompensated for this release." Reply
"Silly little thing. Entertaining for a listen or two because of the humor. Some interesting musical sections." Reply

"This album is very short and sweet, but it's the perfect place to start listening to Randy Newman, not so much of the later acidic comedy boy stuff, but still enough subtlety and irony-tinged popular tunesmithery to keep your interest play after play. Classy." Reply

"Obscured psychedelic gem from the late 60's era by composer of "The Electric Prunes"' "Mass in F Minor", an equally favorite album. And as it turns out, pretty influential as well." Reply

"By far my favorite songwriter of all time. With amazing ability to write lyrics that aren't trite, but completely other-worldly and eternal. And at the same time, inventing melodies that are original, and natural, and beautiful." Reply

"This album doesn't have a great reputation; it doesn't have any hits, and there are other Sly albums that get played before it.
