AllMusic |     [1] |
Reviewing the US version, Dave Connolly of AllMusic described the album as containing songs that "[i]ndividually ... are as impressive as you remember." However, he felt that the band essentially "had two careers ... the '60s and the '80s," and that this album "alternat[es] back and forth between the two without the proper context [which] is likely to confuse new listeners."
