The Allmusic review by Stewart Mason awarded the album 3½ stars stating "from the lubricious title and cover photo on down, there's a certain 'swingin' at Hef's pad' vibe to the proceedings that makes this album of particular interest to latter-day hipsters. Most of the song selection consists of soul-jazz covers of popular hits of the day... but the real standouts are the small handful of band originals, particularly the fiery groove of the title track".[2]

gollark: My favourite part is where I accursedly patch an extra method into the aiosqlite objects.
gollark: I assume it's optimal.
gollark: The second ones are easier to implement using existing reference handling functionality.
gollark: Hmm, should I keep the traditional Minoteaur `[[displayed text|page title]]` wikilinks or do `[displayed text][page title]` ones for Minoteaur 8?
