Critical reception

The Washington Post thought that "the Klezmatics are capable of the slow, lovely, horn-and-violin harmonies of the traditional 'Romanian Fantasy' or the exuberant Hasidic vocals of 'Nign'."^[1]

AllMusic wrote that "the fast numbers ... are frenzied celebratory drinking songs—a true revival of the community spirit which spawned this eastern European brand of folk music."^[2]
