''Bob Dylan'' by Anthony Scaduto, Abacus Books, 1972, p. 188</ref>

The album is split into two distinct halves; the first half of the album features electric instrumentation, in which on side one of the original LP, Dylan is backed by an electric [[rock and roll]] band. The second half features mainly acoustic songs. The album abandons the [[protest music]] of Dylan's previous records in favor of more surreal, complex lyrics.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/dylans-double-personality-celebrating-the-50th-anniversary-of-bringing-it-all-back-home-1426713732|title=Dylan's Double Personality: Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of 'Bringing It All Back Home'|website=[[Wsj.com]]|date=March 18, 2015|access-date=July 21, 2019|last1=Woodward|first1=Richard B.}}</ref>

The album reached No. 6 on ''[[Billboard charts|Billboard]]''{{'}}s Pop Albums chart, the first of Dylan's LPs to break into the US Top 10. It also topped the UK charts later that spring.
