Reception
Richard S. Ginell of AllMusic wrote, "It's good to hear Marsalis stretching himself all over the spectrum of music of the American South, and always from the point of view of a staunch, respectful traditionalist."[1] C. Michael Bailey of All About Jazz said of the album, "The music here is very fine, reflecting the vision of a controversial figure forging a new path with old methods."[3]
