"It says something for the lack of respect for the full length LP as an art form in 1963 that The Beach Boys (or Capitol Records) could get away with such a tacky concept – recycling four songs from previous albums and quickly recording eight new ones to create a hastily constructed car-themed album."

"Jazz + Bossa Nova = Pure dopeness. I was thrilled to hear the actual song from The Pharcyde's sample for their hit Runnin'. Saudade Vem Correndo is my favorite track here. Not better than the red record but still an excellent listen." Reply

"A little bit hectic and in your face for a lot of it. Only on the final track, the four minute, after the rain, does it relax and chill a little. A good album if you're in the right mood for it but certainly not one to chill out too." Reply

"Revolutionary. Those who appreciate electronic music really should give this album credit, and lots of it. It's a great shame that the work of Stockhausen isn't near the very top of the all-time rankings." Reply
"This album (and the singles from it) helped introduce the lyrical brilliance of Bob Dylan to a much wider audience. PP&M's cover of Blowin' In The Wind was a pivotal moment - I've added the song, via this album, to my own Dylan covers chart." Reply
""Puff" is the highlight; has some other nice stuff, but a few dud tracks, notably "Old Coat" and "Morning Train"." Reply
