Allmusic awarded the album 2 stars stating it is "One of the less interesting John Lewis "third-stream" projects" and "Although the pianist takes a few solos, the music is mostly written out and frankly rather dull".[2]

gollark: We can only hope.
gollark: It's an attempt to wrest prizes from those who aren't stupidly rich.
gollark: ```Hoop Snake can fly and crawl fine, but he would much rather move by grasping his tail in his jaws and rolling around like a wheel. He looks extremely silly but can also move terrifyingly fast, but that is only because he manipulates time so viewers think he's wheeling faster and more gracefully than he really is. He's really a strange dragon with a head full of tall tales. His greatest adversaries are trees, which he tends to clumsily impale while rolling around the forest.```
