"Best of 2019" - "A sequel of sorts to Jon Savage's series of Ace compilations focusing on a particular year of the '60s, Jon Savage's 1969-1971: Rock Dreams on 45 is a brilliant idea for a compilation: describe the rise of album rock through its diminutive cousin, the 7" single ... There's plenty of trippy and soulful material, with bands attempting to find the further point out for rock, blues, and psychedelia. That's the great gift of Jon Savage's 1969-1971: Rock Dreams on 45: listening to it, classic rock - the most familiar music in pop/rock - once again seems fresh".

"Jon Savage's 1969-1971 - Rock Dreams on 45 - a fissile companion to Savage's 2005 compilation Meridian 1970 - can't and doesn't delineate clear, open-shut timelines but instead captures a sense of what followed on from before, and what was coming next. Rather than being an archetypal follow-up to the similarly packaged sets dedicated to 1965, 1966, 1967 and 1968, this is the writer-compiler's more personal take on his singles collection's evolution as the Sixties bled into the Seventies".
