"It is more great folk/pop from these minstrels -- as with all their releases -- a goldmine of melodies, harmonies, and clever chord changes. "Ronnie" is the Beatles meet the Hollies while "Far Away Falling," one of four Peter Best/John Farrar compositions, is a nice mellow diversion before "Let's Say Goodbye," a total Beatles gem with vocals that swell like a gospel choir. Alan Parsons is one of the tape operators along with Richard Lush, but this trio probably didn't need his input to emulate the Fab Four as they do." ****

- Joe Viglione, AllMusic



"Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch were part of the British instrumental group The Shadows. The band was noted for Marvin's guitar style, exemplified by the 1960 hit "Apache", which influenced the generation of British guitarists led by Pete Townshend, Keith Richards and Eric Clapton. Unfortunately, this album with Australian John Farrar has nothing to do with that music, presenting instead an ersatz country-rock vocal harmony group." **

- John Swenson, Rolling Stone
