Critical reception [ edit ]
Robert Christgau reviewed the album's 1971 American reissue in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), preferring it to the band's other records, "before anybody had figured out how to really exploit all these iron zeppelins and lead butterflies ". He concluded that it "offers Beatles harmonies, a roundabout song that preceded Yes 's, and a straight remake of 'The Weight ' in addition to the hilariously melosoulful John D. Loudermilk cover that provides its U.S. title. Ahh, the good old days."[3]
