"On this album, Lee Morgan begins the move beyond traditional hard bop, and has outstanding results. He is well supported by an all star ensemble including the incomparable Grant Green on guitar, Herbie Hancock on piano, and Wayne Shorter on sax. This is one of the all time great jazz statements."

"Damn! These first 2 Hardin albums just hit the sweet spot, don't they? Painfully short (this is 27 min, Tim Hardin 2 is 23 min), perfectly balanced between introspective and downright poetic tracks and blues rockers, and they feature obviously truly excellent and soulful vocals by the man himself..."

"One of the most underrated and overlooked albums of the sixties. John Sebastian was one of the best songwriters of the era and there are some excellent songs here,(although a bit inconsistent as a whole), especially the absolutely brilliant, summer in the city, one of the great songs of the time." Reply
"A much better compilation than the ill-conceived Flowers, but still better to wait for Hot Rocks." Reply

"Their 'first' self titled album is actually their UK debut record. There is a real energy here and Steve Marriot is on superb vocal form. Some great tracks here, all served up with Gusto and passion, oh, and anyone who thinks that Led Zeppelin's, whole lotta love, is an original piece of work rea..." [+] Reply

"Recorded before his stint in Pentangle this is a folk album. Most of the cuts are not written by Mr. Jansch but traditional in origin. A nice record when your in the mood for such music." Reply
