Lotusflow3r is constrained by its guitar-heavy concept, offering great moments instead of great whole songs. This suggests that Lotusflow3r has moments of fury akin to the closing solo of "Let's Go Crazy" or the glorious passion of "Purple Rain," but apart from the Hendrixian "Dreamer," the album is nearly as smooth as Elixer, with even the clenched, pumping riff of "Feel Good, Feel Better, Feel Wonderful" soon giving way to an amiable funk work-out. "Amiable" pretty much defines all of Lotusflow3r, which winds up being all about groove and fleeting bits of six-string color, which may be enough for the faithful, but won't be for many others. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
