In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek notes that "the full fruition of Ware's musical thought is displayed for the listener progressively, revealing his sense of innate logic, architecture, spiritual discipline, and instinct."[2]

The Down Beat review by Shaun Brady states "Longtime listeners can rest assured that not only has Ware not been weakened by his recent illness, he has reached new heights of invention."[3]

The All About Jazz review by Nic Jones says "There's always been authority in his saxophone playing, but with the passing of time the gravity of his work has become more apparent, as if every note he plays is now invested with the wealth of life's experiences."[4]

gollark: Which is obviously not great by human or computer standards, except it wasn't designed or trained to do that and could add numbers not in its training set.
gollark: I heard it could sometimes add four digit numbers.
gollark: It was trained on some large subset of the internet, and can apparently actually write code a bit.

gollark: Maybe with even more money they could run it really fast on ASICs instead of GPUs.
