Reception

The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 4 stars calling it "an immensely likable, easy-grooving CD that defies one to put a label on it... this is thoughtful, free-thinking, ear-friendly jamming that was recorded in bustling Burbank, CA. but sounds as if it was laid down in a relaxed cabin in the hills".Ginell, R. S. [http://www.allmusic.com/album/gone-just-like-a-train-r330685 Allmusic Review] accessed August 4, 2011.
