Reception
Reviewing for Record Mirror, Peter Jones wrote that it was "Definitely a change of style. Away, temporarily perhaps, with the happy old sing-along material and in with something much more thoughtful, more complex, more ambitious all the way round. But there's a strong basic beat anyway, and some of the instrumental gimmickry hits home with impact".{{cite magazine|date=29 August 1970|title=New Singles|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Record-Mirror/70s/70/Record-Mirror-1970-08-29-S-OCR.pdf|magazine=Record Mirror|page=12|accessdate=26 July 2021}}
