. This is exuberant music, bursting with joy and invention. If there's a shortage of classic material, with only the title track being a genuine classic, that winds up being nearly incidental, since it's so easy to get sucked into the freewheeling spirit and cavalier virtuosity of the group. Consider this -- prior to this record no one, not even
the Family Stone
, treated

psychedelic
sun splash, filled with bright melodies, kaleidoscopic arrangements, inextricably intertwined interplay, and deft, fast rhythms. Yes, they wound up turning

's records, and those didn't have the vitality or friendliness of this. Not a perfect record, but a fine one all the same. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
