Reception
Allmusic awarded the album 2 stars, stating, " Although arranger/keyboardist Gil Evans is the leader of the 14-piece band, he has a very minor presence on the set, letting his talented sidemen get self-indulgent and take seemingly endless solos. Because the supporting cast includes such fine players... This is a lesser effort that should have been a memorable one".[2]

gollark: There's only, what, one sell shop around, and there are large differences between buy/sell prices.
gollark: This also has the problem that you need the same production on each end anyway.
gollark: Also, with actual mod support it might be somewhat more immersive and might be more automatable.
gollark: e. g. computers with data, slightly damaged tools, enchanted stuff
gollark: Or at least can't be easily transferred.
