Review by Jim Newsom FROM ALLMUSIC

The second If album came out within the same year as the first, and continues in the same distinctive jazz-rock vein the band worked on its debut. The playing is excellent, with the sax and flute work of  and  carrying the group's sound to a level unmatched by other, better known contemporaries like  and . J. W. Hodkinson's unique vocals continue to sail through the music, while employs a deeper, grittier guitar tone than he used on the first LP. The material here is not as interesting as on the earlier release, but the soloists have plenty of space to stretch out and strut their stuff over  organ/electric piano bed of chord changes.  lays down some inventive basslines and drummer  keeps the band on track through various rhythmic twists and turns.
