The album has none of the orchestral and grandiose flamboyance that colours his later work, and is one of his better albums because of this: not quite an intimate "unplugged" effort, but nonetheless one that feels closer / more conversational than others.

The LP was banned briefly in South Africa because the title track contained lines considered blasphemous - though it is surprising that similar concerns didn't apply to the Spaceman Came Travelling which contains lyrics equally as questionable from a religious perspective.
