AllMusic[2]

AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Jim Newsome stating: "This album is more laidback than most of the Mann catalog from the era, with the rhythmic variations and complementary interplay between the musicians contributing to the feeling of a real band. First Light is one of the classiest and most unified recordings of Herbie Mann's long career".[2]

Personnel
gollark: `component.modem.broadcast(1, "nanomachines", "setInput", 1, true)` does nothing on a wireless-modem-equipped computer which I'm standing beside. I drank some nanomachines and they seemed to do something, because I have a power bar thing.
gollark: Does anyone know if the nanobots have some weird requirements I'm missing?
gollark: <@173511059582222336> How is the serverwide price comparison thing going?
gollark: I'm standing right next to it, but nothing happens when I do `modem.transmit(1, 0, "nanomachines", "setInput", [lots of numbers because it's in a for loop], true)`.
gollark: <@204906817816363009> I'm trying to use an OC relay controlled via CC.
