Reception

The initial Billboard review from 26 May 1973 said that "These sound like old, old, cuts..He's also not had an LP out in several years. Very Dixielandish".[4] William Ruhlmann on Allmusic.com gave the album three stars out of five. Ruhlmann said that "Martin's most recent efforts had been commercially negligible, so Bowen was well-advised to try something different, but, especially because Martin albums were becoming so occasional, his audience had largely lost track of him...".[1]
