      Critical reception


      In Glide Magazine Doug Collette said, "... each member of the band is as engaged in their respective role as the others, so the five-piece literally and figuratively sounds far bigger and more versatile than its number might allow. Fortunately, all such aspects of the musicianship come through thoroughly in Fred Kevorkian’s mastering of original recordings by the famed Betty Cantor-Jackson."
