    Few artists have ever come close to the lyrical genius that was Jim Morrison. Don't listen to this album on your first play, instead allow your ears to absorb the sounds. On the second play listen to the album. Then you can truly appreciate what Morrison brought to his music.

    The beauty of the return to the past. When the decade of the 60 going down, Jim Morrison threw his last screams on this awesome album. The reissue offers his eternal voice on this bonus tracks; listen is to appreciate the enduring influence of the lizard king.

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

    For diehards, these takes [on the second disc] have an attractive live-in-the-studio-run-through feel, complete with informal chat and occasional sloppy edges. [Feb 2012, p.108]

    Weirdly timeless, even now. [Feb 2012, p.117]
