Great review of one of the finest albums that I have ever heard. In terms of influence The Velvet Underground & Nico has been massive with me and obviously many artists. The minimalistic approach of Cale on this album left an indelible stamp on my approach to music over the years. I constantly hear the influence of The Velvet Underground in so much that I listen to.

Just to add to the OP I am sure that I read years back that Reed considered Dylan an influence and the track that I can say that shows that is Run Run Run. I also consider Cale to be genius. I have a fair bit of his music. I had the pleasure of seeing him live last year on his Circus Circus tour. He was outstanding. Are there many better 65 year old rockers out there? The interesting thing is that I actually consider Cale's last 2 albums Hobo Sapiens and Black Acetate to be as strong as anything that he has done since his 2 VU albums.
