Reviewer notes: “Marc and Steve are getting better all the time... Beneath the superficial similarity of many of the tracks, there’s a lot of variety... The songs are as good as ever, evoking strange worlds with the unique lyrics. A special word about the cover, too, which is a work of art.”

Marc and Steve are getting better all the time, You'd think that their formula would prove somewhat restricting, but quite the opposite is true in practice, as witnessed on this album, Beneath the superficial similarity of many of the tracks, there's a lot of variety, covering a wide range of moods with great effectiveness, Steve's drumming is very good, and his falsetto blends well with the strange Bolan voice. The songs are as good as ever, evoking strange worlds with the unique lyrics. A special word about the cover, too, which is a work of art.
