Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states, "The five group originals (two of which are over 20 minutes long) build gradually to a high level of intensity. Although there is no bass, the music swings in its own way and DeJohnnette's drums and percussion are consistently stimulating. This thoughtful but often-fiery music is worth a close listen."Yanow, S. [ AllMusic Review] accessed 14 September 2009
