    LA Woman is at times a raw and bluesy affair, but still one of exquisite taste and judgement. [Feb 2012, p.84]

    With its harder edge, its hindsight-laden sense of imminent loss and its sheer dirtiness, L.A. Woman comprises a brilliant bridge between the floral madness of the 1960s and the tougher decade to come.

    [It is] possibly the band's best album.

    Bottom line: whether you're a casual fan or a more obsessive one, this is the definitive issue of L.A. Woman.
