The record includes "
Sky Pilot
", an anti-war song of the
Vietnam War
era, and "
Monterey
", the band's tribute to the 1967
Monterey Pop Festival
. Reviewer Bruce Eder of
AllMusic
describes the song "All Is One" as "unique in the history of pop music as a psychedelic piece, mixing bagpipes, sitar, oboes, horns, flutes, and a fairly idiotic lyric, all within the framework of a piece that picks up its tempo like the dance music from
Zorba the Greek
while mimicking the
Spencer Davis Group
's "
Gimme Some Lovin'
"
.
The Twain Shall Meet
reached the #78 position on the U.S. Billboard album chart.
