AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Prism is a set of piano-bass duets with Eddie Gómez. As usual for the era, all of the compositions are Brackeen's, and the music is both challenging and spontaneous, at least for musicians skilled enough to master the structures. Although underrated, Brackeen has long been one of the giants of modal post-bop piano, and this fine set serves as additional proof".[4]

Personnel
gollark: I don't actually understand the maths involved well enough to generate those myself, but I was reading the Wikipedia articles on it and thought "hmmm, these patterns are neat, I will use [search engine] image search to find a nice one to use as a profile picture".
gollark: It's actually some sort of tesselation of heptagons ~~in~~ and hexagons in hyperbolic geometry.
gollark: No, those tend to be translucent.
gollark: People *say* that it's subliminal advertising for the delicious pepperoni pizza offered by PizzaCo, but really it's not.
gollark: No.
