Comment: AllMusic and The Second Disc are not reliable. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 13:22, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
Comment: Press releases by the record label, Sony, is a primary source and therefore not independent. Blogsites, such as Blogcritics, are not acceptable or reliable sources. These reviews need to be removed and replaced with reliable secondary sources. Dan arndt (talk) 03:14, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Stephen Thomas Erlewine stated the album is "perhaps better compared to the 1992 box Troubadour: The Definitive Collection, another two-CD set that delved deeply into Donovan's career" going on to state that the album "emphasizes Donovan's psychedelic mod hipster side over his wannabe Dylan folkie"[3] Joe Marchese of The Second Disc stated the album is a "poetic rumination of diverse images that come together as a portrait of youth" going on to state the album's first disc includes "ten songs that truly made psychedelia mainstream."[4]
