Critic Reviews

Vinyl District
2015 - A Salty Dog is one great album, perfect for swinging the cutlass or manning the crow’s nest or drowning, should one of the King’s ships get the best of you. A

All Music
one of the best pieces of progressive rock ever heard, and a very succinct example at that at under five minutes running time -- the lyric and the music combine to form a perfect mood piece, and the performance is bold and subtle at once 4.5/5
-
Analog Planet
2017 - It still has the atmospheric goods and the ability to send your mind packing for 40 minutes or so
-
Rising Storm
Agruably Procol Harum’s finest hour
-
The Progressive Aspect
a very nice release of an important album which would sit nicely in your Procol Harum collection
-
Audiophile Audition
2017 - At the core of their success was the unusual pairing of piano and organ (like The Band), an acid-tinged guitar and strange lyrical imagery

Only Solitaire
More personal songs and more carefully crafted music. A great showcase for the guitar, too.

John McFerrin Music Review
The songs are all good, yet as an album, it manages to simultaneously succeed marvelously (due to the incredible richness) VERY GOOD

Don Ignacio
In fact, this has got to be one of the best art-rock albums EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.. 9.3/10
-
Louder Sound
1969’s diverse third album, with juicy bonus cuts.

Something Else Reviews
2018 - was a lot for the average music listener to digest, yet there is no question the album remains a noble artistic statement
-
Turntable Tales
2012 - So a “Salty Dog” turned out not to be a Salty Dog”, but in the end, the taste was just as sweet!

Best Classic Bands
A Salty Dog is Procol’s finest hour, and the relatively paltry dozen bonus tracks are fascinating enough to make one yearn for more.

Robert Christgau
A new discovery; haven't stopped playing it since seeing them at the Fillmore. A+

Here Comes the Song
2017 - In my opinion Procol Harum’s magnum opus is not A Whiter Shade of Pale, which announced their arrival in 1967 and still makes the crowd call out for more, but the epic title track from their third album, A Salty Dog.

Wilson & Alroy's Record Reviews
it's crafted, clever, and rarely loud enough to offend 4/5
