The AllMusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album four stars and stated "Even if it isn't quite as consistent as Kofi and Electric Byrd, Ethiopian Knights is another intriguing transitional effort that deepens the portrait of Byrd the acid jazz legend".[3]

gollark: I would really, excluding the fact that their ecosystems are so bees, prefer to be writing in F# or OCaml or something than Rust, since I do not care about performance as long as common operations take <20ms or so.
