    All Music Guide Review

    Rhino's Rolling Stone: The '70s California Sound is so nicely assembled -- down to the liner notes replicating the font and layout of classic Rolling Stone magazines -- that it seems a bit churlish to complain about the collection's brief running time (only ten tracks!) and familiar song selection. Yes, Jo Jo Gunne's closer "Run Run Run" doesn't appear often (though it does provide a nice advertisement for the Rhino Handmade collection), but the rest of this is by the book: "You Make Loving Fun," "Ventura Highway," "Truckin'," "Amie," "Summer Breeze," "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight," and Ambrosia's terrific "How Much I Feel." Not that it makes for bad listening, but it is really familiar to anyone that listens to classic soft rock radio even in passing, which makes it less than essential. Still, for anyone looking for these song existing in similar surroundings, this is a nice listen. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
