Reception

The Allmusic review states "Small World is one of the most unsung albums by Hungarian guitarist and composer Gabor Szabo. While it's true that the 1970s were not recognized as a great time for the artist, Small World is the exception rather than the rule... This is a stunner. Period".^[2]
