Though a commercial success, Hydra was far less popular than the band's top-selling debut. Allmusic blamed this on the band's failure to establish a distinctive, recognizable sound on either Hydra or their debut, which would have allowed listeners to immediately identify Toto's major hits with the band themselves. They also noted that most listeners were not familiar with the film (namely, THX 1138) on which "99" was based, and thus found the lyrics hopelessly abstruse, preventing the song from becoming as big a hit as it could have been.[5] Critical response to the album was mixed. Allmusic's retrospective review made little judgment on the quality (noting only as an aside that the songs were "well-played"), instead discussing why it had failed to match the commercial success of their debut.[5]Read full review

He loved it. He couldn't believe I found it. He has played it over and over again so I know he really likes it. Thanks ebay for finding the perfect gift.
Great CD from a great band. Eddie Van Halen once said that Toto was the 'best band of musicians on the planet'. Love this CD!!!
