The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 3 stars stating "This is a strange record, like a soloist mismatched with the recording of another band, but nonetheless there is that singular tenor voice to contend with, and, on "Summertime," it is unfathomably beautiful".[3]

gollark: Really? On a monthly contract?

gollark: Ha. Google not spying on you. What a hilarious joke.
