Reception
AllMusic awarded the album with 3 stars and its review by Rob Theakston states: "No doubt taking sonic cues from Spyro Gyra and Steely Dan, the guys open the album with the mellow title track and the equally suggestive "Threesome" before stepping things up with the highly percussive "Bathsheba".[1]

gollark: I mean, not *really*, people will often say "well, if you buy [PRODUCT] from [COMPANY WHICH DOES [BAD THINGS]], you're supporting [BAD THINGS] to some extent".
gollark: Say I want to use Signal, which is better for privacy than WhatsApp, but my friends refuse to use Signal too because they don't care. I'm now forced to use WhatsApp and compromise privacy somewhat.
