According to Guralnick, fans "were becoming increasingly voluble about their disappointment, but it all seemed to go right past Presley, whose world was now confined almost entirely to his room and his spiritualism books."
Guralnick menyatakan para penggemar "menjadi makin khawatir terhadap ketidakmampuannya, namun semuanya memaklumi Presley, yang sekarang dunia hampir secara keseluruhan yakin terhadap ruang dan buku-buku spiritualisme-nya."
