Overview
Pressure Sensitive was produced by George Butler and Wayne Henderson of The Crusaders.[4]
Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars and stated, "this obviously commercial effort (every song fades out before it hits the five-minute mark) can only be recommended in comparison to Ronnie Laws's later more inferior recordings".[1]
