Critical Response

"Ladyland showcases Hendrix's further explorations of the guitar, but two of the finest tracks are the most direct: the explosive 'Crosstown Traffic' and the definitive version of Bob Dylan's 'All Along the Watchtower.'"—Rolling Stone³

"No previous rock album had flowed like this, and while jazz albums often support as many contrasting sonic moods, Louis Armstrong himself didn't match Hendrix's appetite for sound effects and general silliness. His spaced-out spirituality is the fullest musicalization of 'psychedelic' ever accomplished."—Robert Christgau⁴
