Allmusic's Jason Ankeny said: "After a series of sugary soul-jazz dates for Blue Note, Reuben Wilson resurfaced on Groove Merchant with The Sweet Life. The title notwithstanding, the session is his darkest and hardest-edged to date, complete with a physicality missing from previous efforts".[4]

gollark: Because if a bot is added with any permissions, it gets an unremovable (unless you kick and readd it) role.
