The Penguin Guide to Jazz called the album "less effective" than the group's previous album, with "Abercrombie riffling rather desperately through his electrical shade cards. DeJohnette, as always is flawless."[2]
TheAllMusic review byScott Yanow stated that "the playing on the five group originals is generally more fiery than introspective. None of the individual selections are all that memorable but the group improvising does have plenty of surprising moments."[1]
