AllMusic[5]

Steve Loewy of AllMusic states, "While Baker's chops are clearly subpar there is a quaint romanticism to it all that somehow snares the listener. ... Baker is a more than a bit muddled in his singing, sounding as though his mouth is filled with steel wool. Yet, the feelings he displays are so pure and touching that every note is imbued with deep emotion. Most of the songs are performed slowly, sometimes heart-wrenchingly so. While Baker seems tired, there is a cool, raw touch throughout, making this a decent example of the trumpeter's later playing. His range seems even more limited than usual, too. Danko is a thorough joy, and plays splendidly in support".[5]

gollark: <@392702691459072010> It might help. Running it on a different computer means more CPU can be dedicated to the server. But a random old AMD CPU will have awful single core perf.
