The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album three stars and wrote that "Despite the constant changing of instrumentation, the results (although pleasant) are uneventful and somewhat predictable. Good for late-night background music rather than for close listening."[1]

gollark: The old version of it was actually written in Rust, but I'm not very good at that so I rewrote it.
gollark: It's actually on github too: https://github.com/osmarks/autobotrobot
gollark: My bot has about 300 lines of code, and it has... a fortune command, `++delete` (a joke one which just says "Deleted [whatever you typed]" and adds it to the deleted items list), a command to list recently "deleted" things, a command to run various esolangs and stuff using TIO.run, and a reminder thing.
gollark: Many of them *are* pretty similar.
gollark: I mean, kind of? Most of the complex Discord interaction logic is done by discord.py or whatever you use, but you do still have to program the commands.
