"This trove of tidbits from Zappa's vast archives, mostly from the '60s and '70s, convey a solid portrait of the artist's range, rather than being a set of factory seconds....File under Zappaphiliac docudrama." - Rating: B+, 7 (out of 10) - "...Zappa's true brilliance sparkles most fiercely on the unreleased recordings from his OVERNITE SENSATIONS-period Mothers line-up of the early-'70s....works...as an appetite-whetting introduction for the mildly curious...", "...Here, you get a taste of Frank's doo-wop roots, his reverence for blues and soul and his passion for expanding the boundaries of jazz...", "...Made for Zappaphiles, it's obscure, diverse, and twisted, which makes it an appropriate intro for FZ novices too."
