The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars stating "His interpretations are so self-sufficient that one does not miss the other instruments, although it is quite easy to "hear" the bass and drums behind the soprano... Highly recommended".[3]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz nominated the album as part of its "Core Collection" of recommended jazz recordings.[4][5]

JazzTimes stated "the entirety of Lacy's art is to be found in compacted form in solo concerts like 5 X Monk 5 X Lacy"[6]

Personnel
gollark: I would need separate geographically distributed servers. Skynet just runs off one which is about ten metres from me at home.
gollark: Rednet does it the lazy way - rebroadcast everything everywhere and discard seen ones - but that is wasteful.
gollark: The problem is that I don't want a tree sort of topology, since that would mean that if a node went down it would fragment the network horribly, and routing messages through a mesh is *hard*.
gollark: Also also so I can push the work of running backup servers onto someone else.
gollark: Also if people could use skynet servers from people they trust more, for whatever reason.
