Music Review from AllMusic.com by William Ruhlmann
On his songs for , had demonstrated an eclecticism that ranged from the rock of "Mr. Soul" to the complicated, multi-part arrangement of "Broken Arrow." On his debut solo album, he continued to work with composer/arranger , with whom he had made "Expecting to Fly" on the album, and together the two recorded a restrained effort on which the folk-rock instrumentation, most of which was by , overdubbing himself, was augmented by discreet string parts. The country & western elements that had tinged 's sound were also present, notably on the leadoff track, "The Emperor of Wyoming," an instrumental that recalled the song "A Child's Claim to Fame." Still unsure of his voice, sang in a becalmed high tenor that could be haunting as often as it was listless and whining. He was at his least appealing on the nine-and-a-half-minute closing track, "The Last Trip to Tulsa," on which he accompanied himself with acoustic guitar, singing an impressionistic set of lyrics seemingly derived from 's . But double-tracking and the addition of a female backup chorus improved the singing elsewhere, and on "The Loner," the album's most memorable track, displayed some of the noisy electric guitar work that would characterize his recordings with and reminded listeners of his ability to turn a phrase. Still, made for an uneven, low-key introduction to 's solo career, and when released it was a commercial flop, his only album not to make the charts. (Several months after the album's release, remixed it to bring out his vocals more and added some overdubs. This second version replaced the first in the U.S. from then on, though the original mix remained available overseas.)
