Page "Barnstorm (album)" Paragraph 4

Writing for Allmusic, critic Thom Jurek called the track " Birdcall Morning " a masterpiece and one of the greatest rock & roll love song of the early 70's.

In his review, he wrote of the album " While it's true that Walsh established himself as a late -' 60s / early -' 70s guitar hero on the Gang's more boogie-oriented rock numbers, it's Walsh's love of lushly textured production and spacy, open-ended songs featuring both acoustic and electric guitars that is showcased here on this wildly adventurous and forgotten unqualified masterpiece ... Walsh tips the scales one more time back to the mysterious in the acoustic guitar and harmonica moment " Comin ' Down.

" It's another love song, which evokes the notion of the past as a way of creating a hopeful present.

And it just whispers to a close, leaving the listener literally stunned at what has just transpired in the space of 35 minutes.
