AllMusic awarded the album 4½ stars stating "The Wailing Dervishes chases after a fusion that is extremely rare even today - jazz and the Middle East. Believe it or not, it works -- and there are no commercial or ethnic compromises. ...Recorded live, this LP is definitely worth hunting for if you want to hear something really different.[2]

gollark: Most of the time anything I *download* is just dumped in `~/Downloads` automatically, but if I rightclick to save an image, I have to choose a save location, because browsers are weird.

gollark: `undefined` which JS somehow treats as different to `null` because of course
