Reception

In his AllMusic review, Thom Jurek awarded the album 4.5 stars and said: "This is a terrific sendoff to a very fertile, creative period and begs the question as to what else may have happened had this band been able to explore their unique, fully communal sound together for more than a pair of albums."[1]

Writing for Record Collector, Charles Waring said the album "represents Jarrett's most easily digestible offering for Impulse! Highlights include the soulful, country-blues of "The Rich (And the Poor)", and the glistening, mellifluous title track.[2]
