Rating 9  AllMusic Review by Richie Unterberger 

It's hard to imagine that a 20-year-old New York guitarist fresh out of garageland would have been infatuated with  in 1968. However, 's 1968 album sounds as if he was besotted with 's first LP, which was barely known in the States at the time. 's vocals and songwriting uncannily evoke an American  with their evocative, cryptic lyrics, thick organs, and psychedelic guitar lines. "On the Inside There's a Middle" and particularly "Cold Winter Sun" never fail to inspire comparisons to  when played for those unfamiliar with . , it's fair to say, is somewhat blunted in comparison to 's madcap edge. More laid-back and grounded, he also deals more explicitly with hippie-era concerns like being hassled for being different and the necessity of being compassionate toward your brother, without being sappy or preachy. [Reissues contain remasterings from the first-generation tapes by  himself, and also add a few bonus cuts: backing instrumental demo tracks for a few of the songs, the previously unreleased brief instrumental "Piano Interlude," and a 1993 "reunion" performance. The extra tracks are of only minor interest, and it's disappointing that the -era demos released on  were not included as well.]
