Chuck Arnold wrote in People: "Don't expect Neil Young to be hitting the golf course with President Bush any time soon. On his new album — which comes just eight months after last year's strong Prairie Wind [also on hand at Case Memorial Library, CD/ROCK/Young] — a ticked-off Young issues a fierce indictment of Dubya on 'Let's Impeach the President': 'Let's impeach the President for lyin'/ And misleading our country into war/ Abusing all the power that we gave him/ And shipping all our money out the door.' Elsewhere, on 'Lookin' for a Leader,' he searches for a new commander in chief: 'Maybe it's a woman/ Or a black man after all.' The anti-Bush, antiwar message is delivered in raw, powerful folk-rock performances, with Young backed throughout by a 100-member choir that sounds like his own personal army."
