The Allmusic review hails the album as “a brilliant debut” … “from a band whose desire was to infuse reggae with other influences, continuing a direction in Jamaican music that was perhaps best expressed by artists along the lines of Count Ossie and Ras Michael and the Sons of Negus.”[1]
The album contains original material as well as cover versions of the Abyssinians’ classic song “Satta Massagana”” and Burning Spear's “Slavery Days”, from his album Marcus Garvey of the previous year.
A serious lead guitarist, "Cat" Coore, was said to be “a real rarity in Jamaican music of the period.”[1]

gollark: Also, `help` is annoying sometimes too - some just display a list of commands, some DM it to you, some have a weird paginated interface using reactions, and not all do search.
gollark: There are few cases when you actually want to prefix messages with punctuation.
gollark: It'd be clearer than wondering "did I get the prefix right? is the bot working? maybe I got it mixed up? is the spelling right?"
gollark: And list some commands similar in spelling to what you typed.
gollark: Say "command not found" maybe.
