Reception

The AllMusic review says that "Highlights do crop up, with the opener 'Beginnings' working very well except for its long coda, and the one Brazilian song, 'Let Go (Canto de Ossanha)' charting the perfect balance between timeless pop and late-'60s crossover appeal."[1] Stereo Review called the material "flawless," writing that all the songs are "first-rate."[5]
