AllMusic[3]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings[4]

AllMusic noted that, "while 'Dragzilla' and 'Cosmic Groove Slinky' use ostinato bass repetition, it is as a springboard for quirky, boppish melodies in the case of the former, and for heavy chords and Sun Ra-like punctuations in the case of the latter."[3]
