Allmusic's Richie Unterberger said: "It's odd that Blue Note decided to sit on it for so long, because it ranks as one of Lonnie's better sets. The band, featuring George Benson on guitar, is relaxed and funky without being in your face about it, and unlike much soul-jazz of the time, most of the material is original, Smith having penned six of the eight numbers. Although the riffs often owe a lot to James Brown, this is definitely at least as much jazz as soul".[4]

gollark: I don't think any of us live close enough for avian carriers.
gollark: Actually, that seems like it would be hard and require much specialised knowledge.
gollark: I wonder if we can somehow exploit this to run APIONET at a lower level.
gollark: Oh, and fun things like the towers knowing your location fairly accurately at all times and "silent SMSes" and such.
gollark: Anyway, the phone network is a hellhole of poorly designed custom encryption, SIM cards which shouldn't exist and definitely shouldn't run Java but do (and have way too much possibly insecure onboard functionality), seemingly nonpublic standards, and modems with apioformic proprietary code doing ???.
