The Allmusic review stated "Ray Bryant is a master of soul-jazz but these 1964 studio recordings are a bit of a disappointment. ... Bryant leans a bit too heavily toward rhythm & blues, while his music might have been more interesting heard as piano solos. A piano of questionable tuning and muddy sound hardly helps matters. ... Most fans of Ray Bryant can safely bypass this release". [4]

Restoration Ruin is an album by Keith Jarrett on which he performs multiple instruments, and sings his own lyrics.

Here Jarrett overdubs himself on various instruments, similar to the tribal Spirits (1985) or especially the free funk No End. "Sioux City Sue New" was released as a 45 rpm single, backed with "You're Fortunate." In 1999, Collectables Records reissued the album paired with the Art Ensemble of Chicago's Bap-Tizum.
