I just heard this today for the first time. A nice version of one of Brian's best songs.

Nice tribute that smoothes over the rough edges (proving to disbelievers who need 'finished' recordings for their evidence that this is indeed a great Wilson song), but with them goes some of the pathos. The string arrangement's a bit lesser too, though the conclusion is very strong and original in compensation (if a little overextended.)

I agree with this completely.
I find it quite enjoyable.

It's a great song to begin with, but his version is just okay. It really drags a bit at the end with the extended instrumental section.
