Critical reception
The Washington Post thought that "the Klezmatics are capable of the slow, lovely, horn-and-violin harmonies of the traditional 'Romanian Fantasy' or the exuberant Hasidic vocals of 'Nign'."{{cite web |title=KLEZMATICS' HORNS' TOOT MANY INFLUENCES |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1996/01/12/klezmatics-horns-toot-many-influences/0ea37191-d57b-406e-98f5-bc6915a4538b/ |website=The Washington Post |access-date=3 December 2021}}
AllMusic wrote that "the fast numbers ... are frenzied celebratory drinking songs—a true revival of the community spirit which spawned this eastern European brand of folk music."
