Reception

A reviewer for Billboard wrote of the album: "Strong appeal here to both the pop and soul markets from the flashy Exuma. Originals such as 'Brown Girl' and 'Baby, Let Me In' are strong, as is his interpretation of Paul McCartney's 'Monkberry Moon Delight.'" [4] Sidney Nelson of the Evening Post referred to the track "Obeah Man Come Back" as one that generates "tremendous excitement", and "Metastophaliese" as a "rather sinister incantation/hymn"; [5] Nelson concluded that the album "allow[s] not a moment of boredom to set in". [5]
