"1986 masterpiece remastered, with banned artwork and controversial song Dear God restored ... [Producer Todd] Rundgren's fingerprints are all over the album, with Technicolor keyboards and Magical Mystery Tour strings adding to the neo-psychedelic vibe ... Guitarist Dave Gregory's dissonant, modernist orchestrations on 1000 Umbrellas are spectacular, and ultimately the album is a masterclass in advanced pop songwriting".
