Critic's Review

4.0 out of 5 stars Peter Kurtz, All Music Guide
Listeners who were enraptured by this band's first effort should enjoy this follow-up, even though principal member David Roback had already quit. Don't know if this is considered an LP or EP, as it clocks in at a mere 20 minutes, but it's still superior to other recycled psychedelia from L.A.'s Paisley Underground. Layered guitars, special effects, droning vocals, catchy hooks -- they're all here. The Rain Parade never broke any barriers during their brief existence, but they really captured the spirit of '60s psychedelic rock better than most.
