In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow stated "Teddy Edwards has not led enough sessions throughout his career considering his great talent. In the 1990s, he has been making up for some of the lost time by putting a great deal of planning into his releases. ... It's an impressive effort".[4]

gollark: There are things other than those which matter? Also, subsistence farming is kind of no?
gollark: Oh, so you assume anarchocapitalism will magically lead to hyper-advanced technology which will allow you to trivially make anything at home.
gollark: Why would cities not be needed? They seem useful for, well, having people work close together to save on commute times, I guess?
gollark: Which you also can't do.
