AllMusic |     [6] |
Collector's Guide to Heavy Metal | 8/10[7] |
The original vinyl release was a gatefold, reproducing the lyrics within. There was also a central page with a photograph of each band member.
It was the first Uriah Heep album to be released by Warner Bros. in the U.S. Sweet Freedom reached No. 33 in the US Billboard 200 chart.[8] It was certified gold by the RIAA on 5 March 1974.[9]
AllMusic's retrospective review noted that Heep "began to explore new styles to flesh out their combination of prog complexity and heavy metal muscle."[6]
The album was remastered and reissued by Castle Communications in 1996 with two bonus tracks, and again in 2004 in an expanded deluxe edition.
