Entertainment Weekly (10/13/95, p.78) - "...this is Satriani's gutsiest and most plainspoken effort yet, echoing Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix, but with his own inimitable urgency. His roots are showing, in the best way."- Rating: A-Q (12/95, p.155) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...this is an artifact brimming with unexpected delights...Satriani seems to be paying homage to an earlier era where melody took precedence over technique..."Musician (1/96, p.87) - "...a straight-ahead instrumental rock album....There's a real bite to much of this music, and Satriani's got a leaner tone to match.
