"I know just what you're thinking - Benny Hester, that's that high-voiced adult contemporary guy on Christian radio, right? Not being an AC fan I'd passed on this album numerous times til I saw it described in an ad as 'folk/psych'. C'mon now - Benny Hester? Well, I'm not sure I'd go so far as to utter 'folk/psych', but Benny's debut release does succeed in capturing a dreamy mood with his melodic brand of orchestrated acoustic rock enhanced by flutes and assorted reed instruments. Not fluff by any means. Does have electric moments and an almost mystical feel perfectly suited to Benny's Supertramp-ish vocals. On mainstream label in attractive gatefold cover. His hair's real long, too." - A Decade of Jesus Music 1969 - 1979
