Reception
Scott Yanow of Allmusic stated, "The music falls between hard bop, modal musings and the avant-garde. Although possessing a tone similar to Freddie Hubbard's, Woody Shaw was a more advanced player and his solos throughout the date are both original and consistently exciting".Yanow, S. Allmusic Review, accessed August 19, 2013
