Allmusic[2]

Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars stating "This set of concise free improvisations is highly recommended to open-minded listeners".[2]

All About Jazz said "There are plenty of interesting harmonies here, and a sense of rhythm which both includes and goes beyond the tyranny of the beat. Fans of Paul Bley or post-bop music in general will have a treat with this beautifully produced recording".[3] Another review on the same site states "Bley and company have churned out a very interesting collection of tunes that stretch the imagination and boundaries of jazz".[4]
