Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "Although not as vital as his usual trio dates and Farnon's string arrangements are not too inspiring, the music is pleasing and finds Newborn in his early prime".[3]

gollark: There's probably a more efficient way than just falling, at least.
gollark: You can also do something like warping to nearish a gravity well, let your thing fall, then warping back up and repeating, though I assume that's not fast.
gollark: There's probably room for some meddling, though.
gollark: Could you not just use it to accelerate a large rock up to, I don't know, 0.99c and then leave it going?
gollark: A large nuclear bomb? The bots will presumably be hardened against anything short of being destroyed directly anyway.
