AllMusic awarded the album 3 stars, stating: "The intimate and mostly lightly swinging music is fine, but one does miss the momentum that would have been provided by a drummer".[3]

Personnel
gollark: Yes, that is a problem.
gollark: Also, you can't actually convey much information through voting; there are probably, what, four choices at most, two of which are remotely serious. That's *one bit*.
gollark: Another issue with voting as a system for dealing with politicians doing stupid things is that it's very slow.
gollark: As a vegetarian, I disagree.
gollark: I'm subscribed to a service which sends me emails about what my local MP (I think the approximate US equivalent is a senator?) does, but it turns out it's actually very boring and I have no idea if they're doing a good job.
