Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars stating "the complex music (which falls between hard bop and the avant-garde) is successfully interpreted. Worth checking out".[2] Dan Warburton, also writing for AllMusic, describes the album as "an outstandingly original (and unjustly neglected) sextet date…."[3]
