THE GUARDIAN "Occasionally, the florid melodies combine with a hint of waywardness in [Van Dyke] Parks' vocals to leave you feeling as confused as Beach Boys' vocalist Mike Love apparently was by Parks' contributions to Smile. More often, as his between-song monologues ramble in the same serpentine fashion as his songs, you're reminded that you are in the presence of an utterly unique figure."
