Reception
Writing for All About Jazz, Mark Corroto stated, "The left turn here is Ribot's logical mish-mash (not an oxymoron) of classic Philly soul with elements of Ornette Coleman's electric Prime Time band. ... The disc is packed full of rump shaking steak and cheese party sounds". The Irish Times' Cormac Larkin stated, "The result is a boisterous romp of an album, like a disco recording from some dystopian, alternative universe".
