 The title track... is an absolutely valuable piece of pure symphonic prog craftsmanship, to be counted without exaggeration among the best compositions by Yes!

 Which I set aside to give a certainly Positive judgment, but conditioned by the questionable choice above and the pop debasement of most of the tracks.

This review of Yes' 'Mirror to the Sky' acknowledges the album's dignified sound and standout title track as a powerful symphonic prog piece.
