Reception

The Allmusic review states "it isn't the ideal follow-up to ''Black Widow (Lalo Schifrin album), Black Widow'' that Schifrin fans might have hoped for. That said, the album has enough strong tunes and enough of a consistent sound to please hardcore Lalo Schifrin fans and anyone who loved ''Black Widow''".Guarisco, D. A
