Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars stating "The seven Rivers originals, although sometimes having colorful melodies, are quite complex. However, the intriguing and very alert interplay between the brilliant musicians makes the music seem fairly logical and worth exploring by adventurous listeners".[2]

gollark: Come up with a working design and compare it to actually sane ones.
gollark: You're actually quite limited in efficiency and RF/t by the need to produce a small enough amount of H/t to not fill the heat buffer before the fuel runs out.
gollark: It'd be easier to just copy a design from the e-web.
