Allmusic gave the album a 4 stars, stating "Atlantic got enough from McCann's set to put out a hot double album loaded with gritty vocals, gospel-drenched electric piano, cooking instrumentals, plenty of his popular protest songs, and a few new numbers such as the driving "Cochise"".[3]

gollark: "Based" people simply teleport out of lava into water by typing `/home [something]` really fast.
gollark: I would be surprised if tmpfs did. I know you can use zram/zswap and such.
gollark: Just make an ext4 filesystem in `/tmp` and put a swapfile on there.
gollark: That's easy to work around.
