Q

In a review for AllMusic, Steven McDonald wrote:

The Ozrics are a truly curious bunch in that they have this unerring tendency and uncanny ability to make great scads of progressive and space music that has true heart. There are very few times when one can connect fabulous technical skill with such a strongly emotional core, and never mind the mystical triggers.

— Steven McDonald, Allmusic[1]
