Reception
The Allmusic review by Steve Leggett awarded the album 4 stars, stating
"It's fairly typical Smith, who careens, bolts, stutters, glides, and flashes notes all over the place at a frequently breathless pace, doing what he always does, which is being Jimmy Smith at the organ. That's what you want, and that's what you get here".[2]

gollark: Your thing pulls in an entire Lua VM for about five lines of JS, soooo...
gollark: I think a big reason for inefficiency is that some sites seem obsessed with shipping big images with their content even when it's not meaningful or helpful.
gollark: I've designed my website to be very lightweight, though, so it's reasonably good for people on slow connections and loads very fast.
gollark: I'm on a 30something Mbps VDSL connection, which I consider bad but which is actually somehow better than many people I interact with.
gollark: I don't think that would work, maybe do `WHERE selector LIKE ?` and substitute in `%whatever%` instead.
