The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "This live set is an excellent example of the group's unique music performed live. The versions of Lacy's five scalar originals are each at least ten minutes long and find the musicians playing with enthusiasm and consistent creativity. Their relaxed but adventurous solo and ensemble work make this a set worth several listens".[3]
