Allmusic	[4]

The Allmusic review by Tony Wilds observed "Released between the classic More (Mondo Cane) albums, the eponymous Kai Winding serves up more mod trombone with ondioline and "water sound" guitar on some tracks. ...Unfortunately, there is no central theme and most of the tunes, brief as they are, rank as filler".^[4]
