Reception
The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 4 stars and stated "hard bop is at the core of this band, but Byrd is moving further into post-bop... as he takes a break from forceful interaction to play a more democratic role on this refined and mature album that is less brash, a prelude for his more powerful statements yet to come".[4]

gollark: Well I hope you're available soon. I don't know what we would do without limited followthrough on pointless vague probably impossible threats.

gollark: What is taking you so long? All you need to do is stand outside of claims and sort of vaguely threaten to destroy things which you can't.
gollark: That isn't shortly.
