"...Whether he is bright eyed and wondering what the hell is going on in a charged up rocker like “Revolution Blues,” or introspectively strumming and meandering through the chasm he has managed to climb out of, Young is in top form during most of On the Beach. Sure there are a few slip-ups, but this is a Neil Young album. If you expected it to be perfect you wouldn’t be listening to it in the first place. And the solos in On the Beach—just lovely Lou. Really."
