Reception

The Allmusic reviewer Brian Olewnick awarded the album 4 stars, writing, "Brown receives excellent support by a strong ensemble including trumpeter Leo Smith and the great drummer Steve McCall. Brown, with his marvelously limpid tone on alto, is a joy to hear and seems more at home and relaxed here than on some of his more strident early records. Recommended".[3] The New York Times described his trio of Georgia-related albums as "his most notable recordings".[4]

Personnel
gollark: Magitech is cool. Psi isn't really that overpowered, it's a utility mod really.
gollark: HERESY. Add Psi and Botania!
gollark: But *is* it my choice? As a human, do I even have free will?
gollark: Or just make a CC Morse program and run it over some other wireless redstone thing?
gollark: Hmm, I could make BundleNet over Wireless Modem and then run Morse over that, could be fun.
