"Listening to a Pendragon record isn't an insurmountable task; their music being melodious and vocally directed within albums always managing to portray the ideals of neo-prog, which is only to be expected of one of that sub-genre's most well regarded and pioneering bands. Winds of old symphonic prog passing through the adept fingers of keyboardist Clive Nolan continue to work their way naturally throughout the course of a Pendragon tune ... This album comes across as a rather rhythmically humble, melodically focused and a guitar and vocal centralised presentation of what their sound has become, and one without any of the affectations of recent records to speak of whatsoever. Explorative aspects and outlandish features are nowhere to be found. It's basically just you and the mountain to climb, the mountain being the song structures built up out of a rather repetitive process of straightforward rhythm, set tempo and vocal resonance".
