Allmusic[2]

Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars stating "the music never seriously grabs the listener's attention, though the musicians are playing up to the level one expects of them. Serious Billy Taylor fans will undoubtedly still want to search for this obscure, long unavailable record".[2]

Personnel
gollark: Generally people will agree that people need to be stopped from doing stuff which is harmful to other people, *but* don't really agree on how that's defined.
gollark: I mean, to some extent, but people have to interact with each other a bit.
gollark: WASM currently requires JS glue code to interact with DOM APIs, although maybe they'll make some standard for that and implement it directly.
gollark: *I Quite Like CSS*
gollark: There are a ton of weird quirks in HTTP which lead to vulnerabilities from proxies and backend things parsing them differently.
