    The only flawed part is the ending, and maybe the cowbell if that's not your thing, but it is consistent in tone while having varied elements, and features one of the best and most underrated guitar solos of all time.

    This enjoyable act of historical revisionism highlights the still definitive source material. [Nov 2012, p.100]

    While the songs remain wonderful, Mr. Blue Sky feels like Lynne righting imaginary wrongs. [Dec 2012, p.111]

    It's like these songs have had their windows cleaned, a few crows' feet ironed out.
