The Quicksilver Messenger Service don’t sound quite the same since they’ve heard the Flag and Mike Bloomfield, late arrivals on the San Francisco scene. As a result, most of the album cuts (only six altogether) come across sounding like the Electric Flag, minus their blues-loyal predication and Buddy Miles, doing straight rock. An exception to the general tone of the album is Quicksilver’s interpretation of folk-rock (remember?) singer Hamilton (Bob) Camp’s Pride of Man. This is an unusual number for them to have done, but it’s really a better version than Camp’s original.

This is the first album featuring founding member Dino Valenti (who didn't appear on the previous three albums, partly because of drug busts). Despite the usual criticism of their vocals, the band sounds quite good on several numbers, especially when there's some backup singing. Fresh Air" was a big hit (pun intended).
