Reception

edit

Allmusic writer Ned Raggett praised Guthrie's production on "Something More", and said while the Whirlpool version of the song "is equally good, it's a pity that this one was fairly obscure in comparison".[1] Raggett also described the verse and chorus section of "Satin Safe" as "great modern guitar psych",[1] and that Chapterhouse's version of "Rain", while not on par with the Beatles original, is "still a fun runthrough."[1]
