Allmusic[2]

Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars stating "Overall, Mo' Rock isn't quite up to the level of Willette's Blue Note sessions, but it's still a very respectable outing, and given the unfortunate skimpiness of his discography, his fans should find it rewarding enough to seek out".[2]

Personnel

gollark: Hmm, well, that's figured out.

gollark: I kind of have to wonder which one of the many known sandbox escapes this exploits.
