Reviews: A classic case of a band softening up with age. It's too bad, 'cause it's not like they can't pull out the stops if they want (as in "Jet Fighter"). This isn't psychedelic music, but that prettier '60s paisley pop that degenerated into the "Up with People" movement. I'm certain that they won't get that lame, but if they think their Salvation Army period was kid stuff, then modern corpoprate rock has a new group to chew up and spit out. -Ray Farrell (from Maximum Rocknroll #11, January/February 1984)
