Brian Wilson's psychologist Eugene Landy, who was originally awarded co-writing credits on Wilson's songs, stated in a contemporary interview, "I'm practically a member of the band ... Brian's got the talent to make the music. ... He's the creator. The other band members are just performers. So I'm the one who's making the album."[8]

Critical reaction was mixed.[9] Writing in Rolling Stone, Parke Puterbaugh called the album 'pretty entertaining', adding 'though not a world-beating act of artistic reassertion, the LP does serve to showcase those amazing voices, and to remind the world that nobody does it better — still.'[10] Retrospectively, Levine said that he remained "immensely proud" of the album and wished that it had sold better.[9]
