Allmusic awarded the album 2½ stars stating "This Roulette LP includes six fairly recent originals in addition to a pair of numbers co-written by drummer Art Blakey with saxophonist Bob Mintzer. Davis's "Gypsy Folk Tales" and "Jodi" are the best-known songs and the hard-bop oriented solos are consistently fresh".[3]

gollark: No, it's the 9/11 terrorist attack he seems to not want to refer to by name.
gollark: Massively insane overreaction to terrorist attacks has *not only* resulted in significantly curtailed freedoms (border control, interwebbernet monitoring/heightened surveillance generally, airports, etc.) but also sucked horrendous amounts of resources which probably could have been used to help with that.
