Reception
All About Jazz reviewer Troy Collins comments that "Burrell hones in on the jazz tradition with intensity and focus, delivering one of the finest statements of his career".[2] AllMusic reviewer Stewart Mason describes the album as "spiky and challenging but only rarely moving into the rhythmic and tonal fearlessness of some of his more outside work".[1]

gollark: You *know* them, this is obviously hindsight bias.
gollark: It's a shame, because mine was very cool this round.
