The Allmusic site awarded the album 4 stars, noting: "While he's best at blues-tinged material, Mance shows the versatility necessary to do other material and doesn't substitute clichés and gimmicks for ideas and substance".[2]

Personnel

gollark: I don't think this is likely to be a significant issue.
gollark: So unless people get able to measure those things more directly, it's entirely possible that requirements will just creep up.
gollark: Anyway, as increasing amounts of people have been going to university, and it requires some basic level of competence at a subject, ability to follow instructions, learning, that sort of thing, *not* going to university serves as an increasingly strong signal that you *don't have* that competence/ability to follow instructions/etc.
gollark: God died in 1996.
gollark: I don't know if the models are any good, but I don't think the one they think is closest predicts complete societal collapse by 2040 anyway?
