"Reissue of the month" - "Blossom Toes asserted creative control over their second album, [and] from the glowering opener, "Peace Loving Man", If Only For A Moment is very clearly a different proposition, Blossom Toes finding some of the alpha-male thud of Cream or Black Sabbath. It's a thunderous countercultural jumble of discordant guitars, Belshaw's proto-black metal growls and World War III paranoia, a sinister Pink Floyd whisper asking: "Do you want to be part of this confusion for the rest of your time? Do you?" Hemmed in on their first record, Blossom Toes stretch out a little more, Godding and Cregan's twin-guitar assault in "Indian Summer" pre-empting Wishbone Ash. The mood has shifted too, the Lewis Carroll winsomeness giving way to the more antagonistic tone of freakier times".
