AllMusic[2]

The AllMusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 4 stars and stated "These original compositions may not all be memorable, but the band's interaction, improvisation, and solos are. Tenor saxophonists Fred Jackson and Harold Vick provide good support, as well, but the show belongs to Patton, Green, and Dixon, who once again prove they are one of the finest soul-jazz combos of their era".[2]

Personnel
gollark: In some sense?
gollark: Well, sure?
gollark: Like I said, it is fixed.
gollark: You can totally load an OmniDisk with no signature, or on a non-potatOS computer which won't verify it, or whatever, but it's only useful on a potatOS computer, which will always verify the signature and whatnot.
gollark: It won't work outside of that, I think.
