Reception
In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states: "There are places, such as on 'Like a Top' and 'Step With Care,' where his own development in the Ornette Coleman school of melodic free improvisation shines forth as it leads the quartet into places it could never have expected to go." The JazzTimes review by Bill Shoemaker notes that "Brown and Campbell are particularly intriguing front-line partners, as they both have an undertone of testimony in every note they play."Shoemaker, Bill.
