The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Ford takes the lion's share of the solo space and is clearly up to the task, making these sometimes complex compositions seem accessible and logical. Ford has long been underrated (too old to be a Young Lion and too young to be an elder statesman), but based on the evidence of this recording alone he clearly deserves much greater acclaim".[4]

gollark: This seems uncool. The web must be utterly performance.
gollark: What's XMODEM?
gollark: Pages would be functions of state to HTMLish trees (this may be slightly horribly inefficient on big ones but whatever).
gollark: And none of the stupid case insensitivity thing.
gollark: It could use something like HTTP, but over the eminently superior QUIC, and with headers being easier to parse S-expressions (or maybe with a binary encoding).
