“Travis’s tenor is a warm, mellifluous instrument and together with the luscious, bluesy Hammond organ they create something rather unexpected... a prog-rock/jazz/blues hybrid album of genuine power and excitement”
— Guy Hayden, BBC Music
“Wonderfully trippy… this is a rare, fine English psychedelic jazz”
