Industry Reviews ...The whole album is lightweight, but very together, very hip, and excellent technically... Rolling Stone (05/11/1968)
5 stars out of 5 --As each song pipes up, Stanshall dons a new mantle: Edwardian frivolity, showbiz insincerity, Establishment rectitude, Spillane-esque fantasy machismo.
