AllMusic[2]

Music critic Thom Jurek of AllMusic wrote of the album; "Land of the Sun is a deeply romantic album, but it is lush without artificial ornamentation or affectation. Musically, its refinement is such that it begs critical as well as casual listening. Hopefully this won't be the last such exercise from Haden and Rubalcaba, but an introduction."[2]

gollark: What I'm saying is that, despite some problems, our market system is pretty effective at making the things people involved in it want. And most people do not *actually* want to help people elsewhere much if it comes at cost to them.
gollark: Yep!
gollark: "Economy" means "any sort of system which coordinates production/allocates resources".
gollark: Now, part of that is probably that you can't really trust whoever is asking to use those resources properly, and that's fair. But there are now things for comparing the effectiveness of different charities and whatnot.
gollark: But if you ask "hey, random person, would you be willing to give up some amount of money/resources/etc to stop people dying of malaria", people will just mostly say no.
