Critical reception
The Oakland Post praised the "dynamic instrumentation, pinpoint rhythms and power funk chords layered with four-part harmonies dancing under strong, alternating lead vocals."[6] The New York Times wrote that Rough Riders "displays a competent show band adept at several rhythm-and-blues idioms, but the material and arrangements are drearily formulaic."[7]
