AllMusic reviewer Richie Unterberger stated: "Overseen by noted jazz producer Bob Thiele, this session had Hooker backed by some of his fullest arrangements to date ... The slightly modernized sound was ultimately neither here nor there, the center remaining Hooker's voice and lyrics. ... Another of his many characteristically solid efforts, although it's not one of his more interesting albums".[2]

gollark: Yes. However, having a language which actually ALLOWS YOU TO WRITE THAT as a generalized thing would be better without compromising elegance with weird special cases like Go also does.
gollark: Parallel iterators would make that code clearer, actually simpler (not Go-"simpler") and less error-prone.
gollark: I don't think the way Go encourages you to write code is very good.
gollark: I had a bug because I didn't put in the `src := source` line and something something closure. I probably could have accidentally messed up the waitgroup.
gollark: Or, well, is moderately complex but can be abstracted.
