Sloan's second album had a fuller mid-1960s Los Angeles pop-folk-rock production than his more acoustic-weighted debut, and the material was a shade less strong. Still, the standard of writing remained good, particularly on "Let Me Be" (a hit for the Turtles), "Here's Where You Belong" (Sloan's most pop-friendly numbers), the sullen but melodic "Lollipop Train," and the wistful "From a Distance," which sounds like it could have been a hit (and indeed it was a few years later in Japan). The Dylan influence was there to hear on "Halloween Mary," "When the Wind Changes" and "The Man Behind the Red Balloon." This was fine since those songs were good on their own merits, but not so fine when it just sounded like a dumb Bob Dylan talking-jive parody, as on "Patterns Seg. 4."
