Stephen Stills: Stephen Stills 2
John Mendelsohn, Rolling Stone, 19 August 1971
WHAT WE HAVE HERE, friends, is a fifth-rate album by a solid second-rate artist who so many lower-middlebrows insist on believing is actually first-rate, even in the presence of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that he's apparently begun to believe it himself, as is evidenced by his having the audacity to indulge himself through two fifth-rate albums in succession.
