Review by William Ruhlmann 

 was still primarily a blues band on this, their first album after the departure of founder/nominal leader . But the remaining members, , ,, and  (plus 's wife, , not yet officially part of the group) started broadening the band's use of blues into other contexts, and adding new influences in the absence of 's laser-like focus. 's fascination with American rock & roll manifests itself on the album opener, "This Is the Rock" (which crosses paths with 's Sun Records sides), whilst "Hi Ho Silver" is a higher-wattage shouter covering the same territory that explored with the band (sans ) on "Someone's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked in Tonight," only with a little more subtlety and grace; and his tribute to , "Buddy's Song," even outdoes the classic / "Tribute to Buddy Holly" as a memorial to the late rock & roll star -- and it was always too good and sincere to be mistaken for part of any oldies revival. "Jewel Eyed Judy" and "Earl Gray" are two superb showcases for , the former as a vocalist and player and the latter as a composer and guitarist in tandem with , in what was a pretty good successor to the -era instrumental hit "Albatross." "One Together" shows off a harmony-vocal side to this band that was something new in 1970, on one of the prettiest tunes they ever had to work with. And  gets the spotlight once again as a guitarist on the hard-rocking "Tell Me All the Things You Do." The album ends with the lyrical, relaxed -esque folky pop of "Mission Bell," which seemed to point the way toward their future direction. None of this may be as intense as the music they cut with  running the show, but in its relaxed way  represents the same virtuoso blues-rock outfit having a little fun while making a record -- think of it as roughly 's equivalent to the ' .
