"In fact, all the solos Wardman picked for posterity Saturday night on his Gibson Junior were of a much sweeter grade than those milked from the Fender Tele he used formerly. Blue Peter's repertoire is captivating enough; but one awaits in eager anticipation Wardman's every taking to the spotlight. His liberal use the entire neck of his axe seems almost second nature."

"The lyrics are vivid and fascinating as usual. The song "Up To You" is full of images of mindless urban panic - "static in the wires/slogans on the air/servants on the TV/dollars in our prayers" - following each other like sharp punches. "Guilty Secret" is perhaps the best anti-war song Chris Wardman has ever written."
