Artwork
[ edit ]
The cover art was by fantasy artist Ken Kelly , who painted covers for the Kiss albums Destroyer (1976) and Love Gun (1977). "It was very exciting when I was approached with the idea of doing an album cover for Ace," he said. "I am very pleased with the results and proud to play a part of Ace's continuing successful career!"[11]
Reception
[ edit ]
"His music still has the raw edge and offbeat sensibility that he brought to early Kiss and the best of his subsequent work…" opined Classic Rock . "The title track is quintessential Frehley; 'Toys' reminiscent of Aerosmith circa Rocks . And on two other space odysseys – 'Past the Milky Way' and the seven-minute instrumental 'Starship' – Ace travels to places that Kiss could never reach."[12]
