The Allmusic review by Steven McDonald awarded the album 4 stars stating "Not always the most compelling title from the Hawkins catalog, the record at least has the virtue of both being listenable and worthy of somewhat deeper inspection".[3]

Personnel

gollark: I do kind of wonder why people want the independent device kind, honestly.
gollark: Oh, and a user-replaceable battery so that you can explode it multiple times.
gollark: Don't forget a laser on the PineTime Pro.
gollark: Better idea: you type Morse code for 0s and 1s using a button in the corner of the screen, and that's converted into ASCII characters.
gollark: I don't think typing Morse code into a watch without actually looking at the options onscreen is much easier.
