Reception
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars stating "it is as a quintet this band plays, as a musical unit that is seasoned and confident and in full possession of its strengths and musical empathies. So democratic and accomplished is this band that it sounds as if it has no leader, but only music to play. And that's as high a compliment as any reviewer can pay".[2]

gollark: But nobody is actually forced to work anywhere else, that would be unethical.
gollark: If one country sells 10 million employment, their unemployment goes up by 10 million and whoever buys it has a 10 million reduction in unemployment.
gollark: This wouldn't involve anyone actually working anywhere else...
gollark: Just sell "employment", in a totally abstract sense.
gollark: No, I don't mean sell actual *people*.
