    Much of the material is standard heavy fare, based around familiar riffs and embellished with solos that blaze momentarily. [Jun 2015, p.89]

    The outcome is a raucous, rough-and-tumble blues-rock album. [Jun 2015, p.71]

    Recorded their solo over a finished mix, which explains the presence of the late Jeff Healey and also how the guitarists don't necessarily seem fully integrated into the album. Nevertheless, that disconnect is ultimately a minor point because there's a gonzo energy to Bachman's originals.

    Resolute if hardly revolutionary form. [Jun 2015, p.96]

    It’s easy to like but, ultimately, easy to forget too.
