The AllMusic review by arwulf arwulf called it and its counterparts Black Ballads, and True Ballads "intimate studies in shared introspection...[that] document Shepp's astute exploration of the ballad form during the 1990s...Once again and in all the best ways, Shepp shines in parallel with his contemporary Pharoah Sanders. Both are skilled balladeers as well as free spirits who simply cannot be bottled or pigeonholed".[2]

gollark: I had so many accursed borrow checker issues.
gollark: Ferris is occasionally kind to us, see.
gollark: I just had to do `args.par_iter_mut().try_for_each(|arg| run_reduction(arg, env))?;` to parallelify things.
gollark: It's a Rust library for parallel iterators.
gollark: I mean, the matcher isn't parallel because it needs to know about previously bound bindings, but the reduction-rule-applier is.
