Scott Yanow of Allmusic states, "This live LP (which has not yet been reissued on CD) mostly features Hampton Hawes on electric piano... Although well-played, little memorable occurs, and Hawes never did sound as distinctive on keyboards as he did on acoustic piano". According to Scott Yanow: Hampton Hawes plays the electric piano like no ones business when it really comes down to it. [2]

gollark: Except it's really just useless work which also restricts you to the overworld or maybe nether.
gollark: As I previously said, I disagree with EIO5's "balance" choices.
gollark: Also, the blizz powder is annoying to get; my pack's got no custom spawny stuff except the RFTools ones.
gollark: How? Redstone's not free.
gollark: And the active coolers need water and there's no gap.
