In his review for AllMusic, Steve Loewy notes "Much of the album is surprisingly low volume, immersed in delightfully tranquil sounds. The group never forgets its mission, though, and even when playing in low gear, the creative sparks fly."[1]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "CIMP's dry, 'real' sound suits the EHE just fine, and its seldom made a record that sounds as lucid and spontaneous as Papa's Bounce."[2]

The All About Jazz review by Derek Taylor says "As a whole this disc radiates a love and respect for African traditions that will enrich the ears of any listener willing to explore it’s bountiful expanses."[3]

Personnel

gollark: The names don't actually correspond to any actual size of the transistors. So they can keep "shrinking" as long as some useful metric can be increased.
gollark: I don't think I have any configuration like /etc/network/interfaces would have been either.
gollark: My networking on here is done by NetworkManager, though I use dhcpcd or something on my servers.
gollark: This is on Arch. There is absolutely no chance that no other ones don't have it either.
