AllMusic reviewer Bill Dahl stated: "Johnson and Victoria Spivey had known one another for decades, so it's no surprise that their musical repartee on 1961's Idle Hours seems so natural and playful".[4]

gollark: Well, they can just be plugged into something, or have a GTech™ infinite energy orb, but this is rare.
