Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek stated "This trio's first recording, the wonderful Azurety, met with acclaim by critics and music fans alike for its gleeful abandon, musically astute terrorism, and tunes that were stop-on-a-dime tight. The trio, which was initially together just for a tour, is now a working unit and this second recording proves it.... This date is killer -- a blast to listen to. Guaranteed to cheer you up, even if you don't need it".
