Reception
The Allmusic review by Rick Anderson awarded the album 3 stars, stating, "Ralph Towner's a difficult case. The snoozy noodlings of his former band Oregon can be downright stupefying, but his solo work is often, though not always, quite a bit more interesting. Open Letter walks both sides of the line, but succeeds more often than it fails.[2]

Personnel
gollark: Oh dear.
gollark: I'm not sure how much of the water was there initially versus produced via ??? chemistry later.
gollark: You might be able to get away with just altering Earth's formation so it didn't get as much water-related stuff.
gollark: Remove... water?
gollark: I'm pretty sure you'd have to do something inelegant and hacky like that to stop rainbows anyway.
