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: What if I have a function which returns u8, but REALLY it will only return 3 or 86 in practice?
gollark: Besides, there's more to it than types.
gollark: I can't see any obvious applications.
gollark: I don't know. As ever, it probably depends on what you actually want to use this "information theory" for.
