Years later, Rolling Stone said the album “bridges the gap between the last days of psychedelia and the outbreak of country-rock that had afflicted artists like the Byrds and Neil Young.” In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Lindsay Planer praised the album, feeling that it “contains some of the band’s strongest material to date”. The New York Times described the album as their “1969 folk-rock touchstone”.
