Scott Yanow of Allmusic reviewed the album, stating "His solos are sometimes a touch awkward rhythmically and it takes one a little while to get used to his sound in this setting but, overall, this is a successful effort".[2]

Personnel

Production

gollark: And the UK. What joy.
gollark: I fear that having official classes on it would end up dragging all the horrible school baggage along, like having *exams* on it, and going for stuff which is easy to test over good, and such.
gollark: There's nothing stopping people in schools from debating things amongst each other.
gollark: If only they had more text on them, you could do many funlolz.
gollark: Really? Interesting.
