== Critical reception ==
''[[Village Voice]]'' critic [[Robert Christgau]] wrote: "Over the years somewhat disappointing sales have convinced Trower that maybe all the people who found themselves stultified by his [[Jimi Hendrix|Hendrix]] clonings were onto something. On this album, therefore, he's made a point of mixing the vocals way up, so that the [[Paul Rodgers]] clonings of lead vocalist/second banana [[Jimmy Dewar|James Dewar]] can actually be discerned by the casual listener.
