DeBaser's reviews celebrate Toad as a Swiss hard-rock/blues band centered on guitarist Vic Vergeat. Their self-titled debut and Tomorrow Blue are highly praised for guitar work and songwriting; Dreams (1975) is viewed as pop-leaning and marks the group's final album. Reviews highlight Hendrix/Zeppelin/Sabbath influences and strong soloing.

For:Fans of 1970s hard rock, blues-rock, guitar-driven music and underground European rock.

 Thus ends the album and the career of Toad, a band unfortunately trapped in the most total darkness of rock's depths.

 Another excellent record for the Swiss band, also this one trapped in the depths of rock, confirming what was done in the previous work.
