"Long bootlegged but escaping official release until it became part of Neil Young's Official Bootleg Series in 2022, Citizen Kane Jr. Blues 1974 (Live at the Bottom Line) captures Young giving a surprise solo acoustic show after Leon Redbone and Ry Cooder wrapped up their sets at New York's The Bottom Line on May 16, 1974 ... Far from sounding restless, the audience pays rapt attention, and Young responds with an openhearted, slightly buzzed performance that shines light on this period of gloom".

"Apart from the wayward package design-and, for some listeners, hearing the repartee before "Roll Another Number (For The Road)" as simultaneously unctuous and condescending- Citizen Kane Jr. Blues is a prime example of the kind of unorthodox creativity that's made this man such a fascinating and (mostly) revered figure for over fifty years now. Hopefully, it garners a commercial response sufficient to warrant more rather than less unusual such releases and thus render the 'Official Bootleg Series' as iconoclastic as Neil Young himself".

"This is why God made bootlegs. Late [one evening in 1974], Neil Young took the stage at The Bottom Line, a new showcase club in lower Manhattan, as an unexpected special guest after late-show sets by Ry Cooder and Leon Redbone. Over the next hour, Young performed mostly as-yet-unreleased material including four songs from his next album, On The Beach ... The recording (...) has the challenged audio of a cassette machine hidden inside a coat or under a napkin. It also has the precious, authentic thrill of one-night-only-magic: Young so charged by the room, the moment, and his latest writing, that he had to grab a guitar and mike ... There has been nothing like this show on Young's long shelf of archival releases - until now".
