Critical reception
[edit]The Fresno Bee called the album "funny and well-done, with one very annoying flaw ... the laughs that follow each gag are clipped, obviously cut short in the studio."[5] The San Francisco Chronicle wrote that "Novello is an underrated comic, maybe because his style is so understated, but there's not a wasted moment on this clever, hilarious album."[6]
