Allmusic's Thom Jurek said: "Mama Wailer is one of the quintessential sides issued by Creed Taylor's CTI/Kudu imprint ... This is what Latin soul is all about when it meets jazz. The improvisations are in the pocket, but, at the same time, off the page. Here is where boogaloo and hard bop meet headlong".[4]

gollark: Actually, you should give me money so I can pay for useful things like an actual domain for my website.
gollark: I mean, you were going to spend it on discord nitro a few minutes ago, you're clearly desperate to `consume` and waste it on *something*.
