The New York Times review commented: "Together the band makes a virtue of simplicity, often pushing toward a pulsating, layered sense of groove."[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz suggested that guitarist Cardenas had not fully blended in to Allison's band, and described the album as a "fine balance of violence, tawdriness, refined beauty and raw satire".[3]
