In a review for AllMusic, critic Brude Eder writes:
The group's second and, for all intents and purposes, last full album was recorded while Them was in a state of imminent collapse ... The 16 songs here are a little less focused than the first LP. The material was cut under siege conditions, with a constantly shifting lineup and a grueling tour schedule; essentially, there was no "group" to provide focus to the sound, only Morrison's voice, so the material bounces [from song to song].[2]
Author Clinton Heylin considers the cover version of Bob Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" to be "that genuine rarity, a Dylan cover to match the original".[4]
