Allmusic[3]

In his review on Allmusic, Ken Dryden stated "Clifford Jordan was still an important tenor saxophonist during the years prior to his death in 1993, though his final recording for Criss Cross is one of his lesser known dates... Any fan of Clifford Jordan will want to seek out this release"[3]

Personnel
gollark: Actually, hmm, it must have some kind of 3G connectivity to reach that.
gollark: I see. Hopefully it doesn't somehow still retain access to whatever system issues tickets.
gollark: What data do the traffic cameras provide?
gollark: That doesn't sound very useful unless you somehow also have access to some traffic lights.
gollark: I assume they don't let you remotely pilot arbitrary cars, so…?
