Critical reception
Scott Yanow of AllMusic states: "The 'Jamal sound,' with its expert use of dynamics, close interplay, space and subtle surprises was very much in place, and this out-of-print set is on the same level as his better-known hits to come."[2]

Personnel
gollark: That would be rebalancing it even more ridiculously arbitrarily.
gollark: What, not statewise?
gollark: Like most of these things.
gollark: Arbitrarily ages ago I assume.
gollark: Like wealth, say. Do you want to go around rebalancing votes depending on income? This would be bad.
