Allmusic[2]

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Scott Yanow stating, "This is one of a group of Prestige dates by Sonny Criss from the late '60s that featured the altoist elegantly ripping through pop tunes, standing them on their heads and making them into credible vehicles for his dazzling virtuosity".[2]

Personnel

gollark: You can probably arrange hunting such that you'll end up only being locked overnight, when you couldn't trade or hunt anyway.
gollark: I did recently work out that 1/4 ridgewings were tan, approximately.
gollark: Ugh. Missed a zyumorph.
gollark: It was a bit cheaty anyway. I mean, realistically you'd be able to *see the color* of an egg you're looking at, but still.
