“This classic album has Queen/Cars director Roy Thomas Baker remixing superb production by Gus Dudgeon. Kongos sounds like a sincere Billy Joel on “Gold,” and a cross between Elton and Joel on “I Would Have Had a Good Time.” But as good as those tracks are, it is the energy of “Tokoloshe Man,” the ecstasy of “Jubilee Cloud,” and the insanity of “He’s Gonna Step on You Again” that make this album timeless. The album has been re-released in different versions; a German CD contains eight bonus tracks and a U.K. collection has five additional songs. Magical music that one does not get to experience often.” - Joe Viglione, AllMusic
