Other songs on the album dealt with issues such as the environment ("Questions"), the Vietnam War ("The Proper Gander"), capitalism ("Jingle Jangle Jungle") and organised religion ("Sunday").
[3] Cash Box wrote of the Long Line Rider single: "completely different from anything Bobby Darin has done, this side pulled from the progressive-showing LP casts a new figure from the B. D. mold (sic).
"[6] Larry Uttal, president of Bell Records (who distributed the album) said that the LP "reveals a side of Bobby Darin's personality that has never been heard by the public before.
And it will no doubt surprise some listeners, because the total effect of the album poignantly passes on to them Darin's sense of personal involvement in the world today.
But possibly the most important Darin record for those who wish to better understand the man's love for music and his quest for artistic truth... An overlooked masterpiece painted in bold, personal strokes.
