The Wire (p.61) - "[A]s an experiment in the recording of the spoken word it is a provocative success."
Melody Maker (9/14/96, p.52) - Recommended - "...What Rollins appears to be selling us is the spectacle of his hatred and paranoia in itself, an autistic savant with Tourette's Syndrome and a World Trade Center-sized chip on his shoulder. Is he that knowing: both ringmaster and freakshow, pimp and prozzie? Or is it just an expert acting job? Who cares? Roll up!..."
Alternative Press (1/97, p.80) - 3 (out of 5) - "Ali and Gayle's playing is undoubtedly among the best in post-Coltrane free jazz....And Rollins' lyrics and spoken-word semi-comedy are among the best of anyone who belongs to the post-punk slipstream..."
