Allmusic's Thom Jurek said: "Inner Crisis by Larry Willis is one of the very finest examples of electric jazz-funk from the mid-'70s. ... Willis assembled a session that was long on composition and tight on the big groove. Willis' long front lines accentuated deep soul and blues' cadences that were hallmarks of music that walked the line between tough lean groove and the pulsating rhythm of disco without losing its jazz roots to sterile fusion tropes, thanks in large part to his willingness as a pianist to play as part of an ensemble rather than as a soloist".[4]

gollark: Their Linux drivers are poor, they deliberately harm development of the FOSS ones, and they use the drivers for artificial market segmentation.
gollark: Well, Nvidia bad.
gollark: Why would I do that?
gollark: PotatOS for x86™, coming when I get that Alpine Linux image creator to work (or maybe I could just make an install script), will of course overwrite your firmware with bees.
gollark: I also think they're the reason why EFI does strings as (ugh) UTF-16.
