This is seen by some as Young's creative pinnacle. It certainly does a comprehensive job of fading out the optimistic 60s, while starting to tune into a cold, cynical new reality.
The album ushers in the soft country rock of the 70s, and features one of Young's biggest hits in 'Heart of Gold'. That he himself went on to despise the song, despite/because of all the fame it brought him is beside the point.
It turns out I quite like Neil Young, this album has some great tracks on it. According to the book, Young went on to act out against the sound of his hit song and this album; delving into blues, punk and rock.
