Much of what has been written of this album is quick to slate Valente’s voice and style of production (particularly the reverb) on this album, as well as to interpose bland comparisons with his peers without taking the material on its own merits. There is a free-wheeling, honest quality here and several songs that hold one’s interest with the quality of their instrumental and vocal parts as well as with the neurotic, tender expressiveness of the lyrics. While it lacks the completeness and finesse of a complete, commercially viable album there is much to appreciate here for the unpretentious listener who is not the kind of oversaturated, jaded obsessive of 1960s music who typically reviews this sort of material. Among the fascinating songs here 'Something New' and 'Me and My Uncle' are standouts.
