Reception
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek states: "Musically, the works here move from the deep bluesy modal structures that Alice Coltrane so loved in John's repertoire... All of these works, with their deep Eastern tinges in the intervals juxtaposed against Western blues phrasing, are wondrously droning and emotional exercises".[1]
