"a heartfelt insight...informed and impassioned....But it's his ability to make sense of this album's cocktail of crushed optimism and acrimonious revolt that makes this volume so impressive." –Stevie Chick, Mojo
"Miles Marshall Lewis's absolutely essential 33 1/3 on
Riot tells a good part of the story-the disillusioned national mood after the Death of the Sixties, Sly's post-Woodstock ambivalence towards the fame he once craved, and his sonic turn towards introversion and quietude that manifested in muffled vocals and a restrained drum machine in place of Greg Errico's thunderous backbeat." –Nate Patrin,
