Rolling Stone | (favorable)[2] |
Featuring a style that incorporates psychedelic music and hard rock, the release has received critical acclaim both when it came out as well as in later years. For example, AllMusic critic Bruce Eder stated that, though "highly derivative" of their first album, The Second had "very hard and edgy" tracks with the band "in excellent form".[1] It became the band's highest-charting album on the Billboard 200, reaching number three.
The five tracks on side two after "Magic Carpet Ride" consist of a continuous medley.
