The 5000-unit limited release was reviewed in Entertainment Weekly online as "weird" but "good natured".[1] As of 1997, 1400 units had been sold.[1] Kevorkian wrote all the songs but one; the album was reviewed in jazzreview.com as "very much grooviness" except for one tune, with "stuff in between that's worthy of multiple spins."[2]
