Análisis (en inglés) - :
This is a transitional {$Al Stewart} album. After stretching the boundaries of song length and language with {^Love Chronicles}, he was in a something of a holding pattern on {^Orange}, without any obviously profound inspiration or moments of daring. {&"Songs Out of Clay,"} however, does reveal the first signs of the mix of acoustic and electric guitar sounds that he would perfect on his next album, {^Past, Present and Future}, two years later, while {&"The Fourth of May,"} a six-minute personal story-song, gets something of the beat and the sound that {$Stewart} would refine in achieving his subsequent success -- he just needed subject matter other than busted relationships. {^Orange} also introduced {$Tim Renwick}, whose lead guitar would become central to the sound on {$Stewart}'s subsequent albums. His singing, however, is still of a rather mournful and even monotonous nature, except on those two songs; he hadn't yet found sufficient variety in his tone and delivery, and even the presence of {$Rick Wakeman}'s elegant, {\classically} based, arpeggio-laden piano accompaniments couldn't rescue most of these songs. There's also a pretty cool cover of {$Bob Dylan}'s {&"I Don't Believe You,"} cut as a warm-up for the rest of the album. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide
