Reception

At AnyDecentMusic?, that collates critical reviews from more than 50 media sources, the album scored 6.7 points out of 10, based on six reviews.[1]

Rory Gibb of Drowned in Sound stated "By all rights, at least the first half of this review ought to act as penance for my write-up of Gonjasufi’s debut, A Sufi & A Killer, on this very site. Upon its release earlier this year, the main emotion it evoked was a strong sense of confusion, as though hidden underneath its abrasive surface was something greater just out of reach. It turns out that was exactly the case; several months down the line it has slowly burned its way into the list of 2010’s most accomplished – if least obvious - albums. The trick lies in its deft fusion of old and new."[3] Martin Skivington of The Skinny added "Sumach 'Gonjasufi' Ecks is an esoteric vocalist whose excellent debut album A Sufi And A Killer, released earlier this year, saw him link up with major players from the alt-beats scene, including Flying Lotus and Gaslamp Killer. The Caliph's Tea Party brings an equally subversive band of audiophiles on board to remix the entire album. There's no lack of talent here — Bibio, Dam Mantle and Bear In Heaven all chip in — so the results are unsurprisingly impressive.[5]

gollark: And it gets shorter, yes.
gollark: Yours prints `[number] [maybe fizz and/or buzz]`, the python version does *not* and it's shorter if it is allowed to
gollark: Also, it does not seem to be doing the same thing as the python version.
gollark: And yours seems to be doing some bizarre thing where it's hardcoding a table of the different things it should print for each modulus.
gollark: You can include "fizzbuzz" and stuff inline in the python version, but not in the assembly version.
