In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states "This is purely spiritual music, inspiring, moving, and deeply affecting."[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album one of its rare crown accolades and says that "only Charles Gayle, another William Parker associate, has managed to push the Coltrane idiom further out."[2]
The Wire placed the album in their "50 Records Of The Year 1996" list.[3]

gollark: If the stuff about ridiculous manipulation and monopolization of advertising markets is accurate, then that seems very bad. Regardless, Google has repeatedly shown itself to be very monopolistic generally and to have no regard for privacy.

gollark: Yes, by me, in the jurisdiction I made up.
