Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars, and states, "Precision and dynamic create the drama on this set and, as it moves from one jam into another, a state of deep black and blue grace is achieved, making this a seductive, smoky, from the depths kind of record. This one is overlooked by critics but the reason why is baffling".^[2]
