Reception [ edit ] Leonard Feather described the album as "unique and unprecedented" and described the music as "sensational." Commenting on the vocalists, he wrote, "The results impress partly as a technical tour de force, and the Double Six must be respected for its accuracy and peerless intonation, but these values are a means to an artistically complete end."[3]
