Rolling Stone described the first side, which plays as a single continuous track (subtitled Children of the Future), as being "constructed like Sgt Pepper".[7] Writing in Crawdaddy!, Peter Knobler called the album "a triple moment of experience, knowledge, inspiration".[8] However, many of the songs had been written earlier when Miller was working as a janitor at a Texas music studio.[2]
