Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars stating "The overall music is quite different from O'Farrill's usual Afro-Cuban jazz outings... None of the individual songs caught on, and the interpretations are usually quite concise, but this LP (which has not yet been reissued) is generally quite fun".[2]

gollark: Avaritia is just the most ridiculous big-number thing around, nothing else comes close as far as I know
gollark: *Are* there any?
gollark: Which I do not like.
gollark: While I *can* technically not use it, the point is that Avraitiatiai makes it so that there's only one optimal choice of stuff.
gollark: Shut up, qez.
