Allmusic[3]

The Allmusic site awarded the album 3 stars stating "When a soul-jazz artist decides to devote the bulk of his album to pop standards and themes from the movies, stage, and TV, he better make damn sure that he interprets them in an inventive fashion. Fortunately, that's what Smith manages to do on this 1967 session".[3]

gollark: But map makes your intentions clearer.
gollark: A for loop internally.
gollark: If you want to, say, add 1 to every element of a list, you can much more clearly capture the actual intention with `list.map(x => x + 1)` than `local out = []; for (let x of list) { out.push(x + 1) }; return out`.
