In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "Tolliver is heard at the peak of his creative powers; it is strange that he never received the fame and recognition that he deserved".[2]

Personnel

gollark: They're already trying to snoop on everyone's private communications with the rather evil "EARN IT" (we need to stop these acronyms) thing.
gollark: We don't control earthquakes (much), but the world is increasingly connected and biotechnology is improving, so pandemics might get worse... climate change remains a problematic longer-term thing...
gollark: I want 2019 back. All these disastrous things are ~~quite bad for the economy~~ worrying, and I wonder if this is going to become a general trend.
gollark: I wonder if the establishment would let me change my name legally to include random diacritics.
gollark: I'm hoping it will mostly stop being a problem within a few months. I have exams in... one and a half, though...
