AllMusic reviewer Bill Dahl stated: "Here's a very attractive example of a pianist with roots dug deep in pre-war tradition updating his style just enough to sound contemporary for 1960. ... Montgomery swoops through his seminal "Vicksburg Blues" and "No Special Rider" with enthusiasm and élan".[4]

Production
gollark: The old one had a removable battery, the new one (which is also pretty old at this point) does *not* and the battery is quite fried, so I should replace it SOON™.
gollark: My previous phones have been in the £100 ballpark and pretty okay for what I need.
gollark: And... 400$ is quite a lot, but we're just used to stupidly high phone prices now apparently.
gollark: Oreo is indeed outdated.
gollark: I think we're up to... Android Q, now.
