Release and reception

The reviews for the album were generally positive. Glenn Astarita from Allmusic recommended the album, writing that it was "an early glimpse of one of the most powerful jazz-rock units to emerge in quite some time."[1] Tony Green from the JazzTimes magazine wrote that "the band's vocal-fronted, hard-charging amalgam of funk, rock and jazz should be more than a belly full for folks who haven't heard them before".[3]
