Allmusicista:

” This album by the excellent Keef Hartley Band, one the best Blues / Rock / Jazz ensembles ever, founded by drummer Keef Hartley following his stint with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. The band featured a nucleus consisting of singer / guitarist Miller Anderson, guitarist Spit James, keyboardist Peter Dines, bassist Gary Thain and Hartley on drums. In addition a horn section was added to expand the band's sound, which on this album consisted of the best horn players in Britain: trumpeters Henry Lowther and Harry Becket and saxophonists Lynn Dobson and Chris Mercer. Together this nine-piece band had a tremendous power and considering the quality of its members it was simply the best "little Big Band" around at the time. Hartley's sensitive drumming drives the music through a set of fantastically well written and superbly arranged tunes, which are Blues based but extend often into Rock and Jazz. The guitar work is stunning, the brass arrangement just right on the money, in short heaven on earth for any Blues fan, but basically early Jazz-Rock Fusion enthusiasts will find here everything they need to make them happy. Definitely a classic of the genre and an essential piece of music if ever there was one!”
