"This album is from a pivotal moment in McLaughlin's history. This was just after he left Miles Davis' group, but before Mahavishnu Orchestra started, and the music captures this perfectly. McLaughlin's technique had not progressed to "Mahavishnu" perfection yet, but the music has that rock drive. It all grew out of sessions featuring McLaughlin and Larry Young jamming with Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Miles (and Billy Rich on bass). None of that material with Hendrix is officially released, but "Devotion" is arguably one of the finest acid rock albums ever. McLaughlin is on fire, using fuzzboxes and phasers, over Larry Young's swirling Hammond B-3, with Billy Rich and Buddy Miles as the rock-solid rhythm section. If you dig McLaughlin's solo at the end of "Right Off" (from "A Tribute to Jack Johnson"), then this is the album for you. Documenting the period just before the transition to Mahavishnu, "Devotion" is an anomaly in his catalog, as well as one of his finest achievements." (Sean Westergaard, Allmusic)
