Critical reception
Steve Hands of musicOMH wrote that the album "possesses the grainy authenticism of goodtimey Ska, just before the euphoria of Jamaican independence subsided, full of tall tales, late-nite shebeens, rum, and rhumba".[4] Brent Hagerman of Exclaim! called the album "a pan-Caribbean jam from the early '60s that never had a chance to happen since the Cuban revolution largely cut off musical ties between Cuba and the rest of the Caribbean".[5]
