AllMusic[3]

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: Also security fixes in Android itself.
gollark: There was a vulnerability in Qualcomm drivers/firmware (I forgot which) affecting *tons* of mobile SoCs, but most Android phones will probably never get that patched.
gollark: On the other hand, devices never get updates half the time and I think there are tons of security updates which never reach most stuff.
gollark: Android is at least actually customizable and not entirely closed-source.
gollark: Android, which is basically the only other mobile OS which matters, can also run Facebook, so that's not relevant.
