Reception
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars, stating, "Brewster's Rooster is another high point in Surman's career. This studio band is as sympathetic as his working road unit, and his willingness to place the tradition in the context of his more contemporary, sometimes ambiguous harmonic explorations reveals the roots, shoots, and branches of his art and discipline".[2]

gollark: What would probably be better than teaching specific tools is teaching people, well, how to learn/adapt to new ones, how to debug things, actual manual reading, and whatnot.
gollark: I see. Not really sure about *that*, but sure.
