Village Voice critic
Robert Christgau wrote: "A delightful discovery. Weston applies the rigorous wit of
Monk to easy rolling African
polyrhythms, and they hold up. The title cut suggests a time when intellect is transcended rather than blotted out and makes
Lonnie Liston Smith sound pretty sloppy." == Track listing ==
