It took the critics one week to write these reviews: "Colin was the lead singer of the Zombies and in that capacity helped to create some of the most memorable music of the sixties. His first solo LP is an audio delight, a beautifully crafted work that weaves an enchanting aura of restfulness. His vocals, hovering on the edge of breathlessness are uniquely alluring and tantalizing."-Billboard "...intricate, delicate, classical passages and intense, searing, sexy rock gems, as well as soft introverted ballads such as Tim Hardin's "Misty Roses.':... It is obvious that once a Zombie, always a Zombie upon listening to "She Loves the Way They Love Her."The Zombies feel is bolstered by ex -Zombie organist Rod Argent. The key word of this set is sensitivity- it is a finely spun work by a significant artist."-Cash Box And Bob Hamilton's Radio Report called "Caroline Goodbye," the single from "One Year,""a totally unique sound...plenty of creativity."
