The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "it is an excellent effort. Two songs are group compositions (including the ad-lib "Midnite Train"); Freeman provided a tribute to Eric Dolphy ("Freedom Swing Song"); and the other selections include originals by Blythe and McBee, plus Sam Cooke's "Cupid" (which has a Freeman vocal). Worth searching for".[2]

Personnel
gollark: `ni-ctl` is my most modern following implementation, but I previously just did it with an incredibly trivial script.
gollark: That sounds like EnderMail™?
gollark: My software is so quirky and fun.
gollark: Oh, right, it won't let you make a key with no channels because that means every channel, which you don't have perms for.
gollark: Why do you even have lasers access?
