Joni Mitchell's third album offers a bridge between the artful but sometimes dour meditations of her earlier work and the more mature, confessional revelations of the classics that would follow. Voice and guitar still hew to the pretty filigree of a folk poet, but there's the giggling rush of rock & roll freedom in "Big Yellow Taxi," and the formal metaphor of her older songs ("The Circle Game," already oft-covered by the time of this recording) yields to the more impressionistic images of the new ones ("Woodstock"). The dark lyricism of her earliest ballads is intact (on "For Free" and "Rainy Night House"), yet there's a prevailing idealism here that sounds poignant alongside the warier, more mature songs to come on Blue and Court And Spark. --Sam Sutherland

Joni is angel sent from Heaven to enlighten us all. Her music is pure and brilliant.

Competent enough to highlight several elements that would forever make her unique, this still reads like a luke-warm up to the quantum artistic shift that became the follow through. |

This is Joni Mitchell at her very best in song lyrics and musical talent. Every song is a keeper on this album. Excellant recording levels also! |

| If you're going shopping for jewels today, then buy this one. I defy anyone to not love it completely. The vocals are perfect and moving to the very last note. The instrumentation is exquisitely minimal and ethereal. The lyrics at once endearingly personal and scripturally profound. The remastering is superb. This has to be one of the finest albums of the golden era. Does any song capture so perfectly the zeitgeist of the time as this version of 'Woodstock'? |

| I love Joni's early stuff. Her voice is brilliant and the clean, minimalist instruments shine through the mix. Big Yellow Taxi is the hit of these tracks, but the haunting Woodstock and upbeat Conversation are my favorites. A great album produced by a great artist. |
