Allmusic[4]

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars stating "This date from 1971 at the legendary Lighthouse club offers a stunning vision of Earland the soul organist, not the jazzman. Certainly there is plenty of improvisation here and many unexpected twists and turns in the arrangements, with decisions made and reacted to on the spot. But that's not what makes this date so special. This is Earland digging so deeply into a groove emotionally that he's unconcerned with anything but feeling... This is a demanding gig -- it demands that you stay on your feet for its entirety. Make sure no one at your next throwdown has heart disease before you spin it".[4]

Personnel
gollark: So if anything wants to know the IP, it *has* to - indirectly - contact my server.
gollark: There's only one authority for d.osmarks.net and it's my server.
gollark: People want to be able to know the IPs for things still, I guess.
gollark: Generally you won't talk to my nameserver directly but to a recursive DNS resolver which then looks it up. The nice thing about DNS is that even on internal network-type things, DNS queries will quite likely be propagated to the outside world.
gollark: That nameserver parses the DNS query and does stuff based on its contents.
