From Billboard - September 5, 1970: Mongo Santamaria steps into a slightly different bag on this album; instead of his exotic rhythm, the flavor is essentially jazz and the songs are highly complex in structure. "Adobo Criollo" and "Mark Of The Panther" are interesting; "Yesterday's Tomorrow" reveals great depth. This is indeed, a new Mongo represented.
