Critical reception



Robert Christgau wrote: "The cameos ... are the giveaways, because this jaunty concept needs those guys, to sing or solo as the case may be. The headliners are the lounge band of a tourist's dreams, and that's all they are." The New York Times wrote that "while the band's arrangements can be dissonant, except for the use of a baritone saxophone and the omission of clarinet its instrumental lineup is quite traditional and includes two trumpets, two saxophones, trombone, sousaphone, and snare and bass drums."
The St. Petersburg Times thought that, "driven by [Kirk] Joseph's sousaphone, the other horn players weave an earthy mosaic of tangled riffs and clipped, edgy solos." USA Today stated that "without a pianist or a bass player, the band alternates in this eight-song set between finger-snapping jazz and Mardi Gras party rhythms."
