Reception
The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek stated "This is an incredible document of post-Coltrane free jazz". On All About Jazz, Hrayr Attarian noted "Despite the virtuosic musical ideas flowing out of everyone's instrument the recording itself fails to stand as a single multifaceted unit, but instead has the feel of a hodge-podge of different sounds, ideas and styles".Attarian, H.
