Reception

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars, and reviewer Thom Jurek states, "Revealing is more than just fascinating listening to hear the development in Blood Ulmer's playing and compositional ideas, it's a solid jazz date with visionary players taking a new turn with the music and seeing how fast they can drive it down the road. While it does not contain the sheer drama of Tales of Captain Black or Are You Glad to Be in America? because it's a fairly laid-back date, it does contain all of their musical qualities".[2]

Personnel

gollark: Philosophy doesn't seem to be "ultimate universal truths" as much as "sometimes fun, but essentially fiddling with semantics".
gollark: In physics your theory might get obsoleted by another one later, in engineering and whatever there are endless tradeoffs, but in maths you can confidently say (if you prove it and a lot of people check it I guess) that thing Y follows from axioms X.
gollark: Maths is pretty much the *one* subject where you can go around talking about ultimate universal truths.
gollark: Idea: at high enough energy do conspiracies merge into a grand unified conspiracy theory?
gollark: Indeed, although they do generally work on the principle of getting your immune system to deal with them.
