"Return To Forever can be a bit of a complicated album to listen to. Its flagrant inconsistency can detract some listeners, but longtime fans will most certainly find some surprises to look back at and enjoy. Sonically, it's identical to most of Scorps' albums since '91, so people know what they're going to be in for if they check it out, but fans surely won't mind a lack of experimentation and should be satisfied about the overall effort, because considering they've been a band for 50 years, they could've done a lot worse".
