Review

Spin (12/00, pp.229-31) - 7 out of 10 - "...The old pro-turned-mad scientist, dropping devious experiments and whimsical asides that gently push the creaky old styles out of the museum door into the world of the living....Music this gleefully irreverent deserves to groove on its own weird terms..."
Q (1/01, p.91) - Included in Q's "50 Best Albums of 2000".
Q (11/00, p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Another treasury of subtle, sensuous delights, seemingly frozenin time since the '50s....blessed with a wonderfully lyrical touch and anchored by the most instinctive of rhythm sections..."
CMJ (12/00, p.58) - "...Favoring percussion-driven jams....Ruben sounds like he could go on forever..."
Dirty Linen (4-5/01, p.76) - "...There's no doubting his talent..."
