  ## Reception
  
  Sydney Morning Herald said "With the inclusion of renowned banjo player Bela Fleck, the gifted Hammond organ playing of Joey DeFrancesco and Richard Bona’s bass – the result is a successful interplay, and often joyous push-pull between elements. Displaying his now-legendary skills as an oud player – diving in and out of heroic, Slash-like burning of the strings – the album creates racy, athletic soundscapes and romantic, mystic, spacious dells."
