1976 - On this album he seems to have just given up. The result is, relative to a group’s established level of performance, the worst album I have ever heard from a major rock band.

Mardi Gras withers. It's an unpretty end to a great band.

For a while I forgot my John Fogerty fixation and enjoyed side two of this country-rock debut, which is what asking Stu Cook and Doug Clifford to sing and compose transforms the seventh Creedence album into.

Ultimate Classic Rock
He saved the album from being a total loss with blazing closer "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" and the soulful "Someday Never Comes," an elegy to terrible fathers, including himself. What a way to go out.

A "democratic" album. John must have been totally off his rocker to let the other guys sing.

John McFerrin Music Reviews
I just don't like this album very much. Get the good songs on a compilation and ignore the rest.

2014 - It was not a great album, though there was greatness in it, and somehow that seems truer than to say it has great moments, but I was pleased with it anyway.
