The album received a mixed reception. The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states, "The originals, none of which contain much of a melody, never get beyond setting mysterious moods, most of them not assisted by the inappropriate rhythms from the notable supporting cast... If Osby's solos could have been isolated from the "backing," or if the drumming were a lot freer, this music would be quite intriguing. But as it came out, the results are consistently annoying and difficult to sit through".[3] Los Angeles Times critic Don Snowden wrote "the rhythm section leaves enough holes for the sound to veer clear of mechanical funk and the arrangements are spacious enough to effectively showcase Osby's darting alto bursts and tone color-conscious approach to soprano".[4]

Personnel
gollark: On Linux there's some xev command which is able to read *any* input event.
gollark: Just listen for key events somehow and log them, generally speaking.
gollark: Anyway, there *is* a bare-metal CC emulator, but it's not very accurate. Importantly, it doesn't have networking, and potatOS needs that. And it doesn't work outside of QEMU for some reason.
gollark: ... that *would* be very cool.
gollark: What, and configure the physical computers to boot to Minecraft or something?
