Reception The AllMusic review by Sean Westergaard stated, "This is the great late-night Sun Ra chillout album you never knew about. The band had been working in a more groove-oriented setting off and on for over a year, as evidenced by the albums Lanquidity and On Jupiter, with both featuring prominent electric bass and electric guitar".Westergaard, S., AllMusic Review accessed July 7, 2014
