The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine observed: "Pepper's chops are a little rusty, but you can hear that he still has a passion for playing, and he does improve over the course of these tracks. For serious Pepper fans, it's worth a listen, but for less dedicated fans, there are better places to become acquainted with his work".[3]

gollark: I use a little bit of primitive subframe technology in my designs - basically just double CONV things for heating and electronics - but I have no understanding of the fancy stuff.
gollark: It uses black magic.
gollark: Subframe electronics or something.
gollark: Observe, my laser. It accelerates light to speeds so high that it's not actually rendered.
gollark: With great difficulty, or subframe?
