Reception edit

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with reviewer Scott Yanow stating, "All of the musicians are in top form on this no-changes music, creating fresh and intuitive melodies with both freedom and hints of the tradition".[2] Don Snowden of the LA Times wrote: "Don Cherry's fractured trumpet lines and Dewey Redman's stately tenor are relatively muted and rarely interact on this mixture of originals and Coleman compositions aside from stating the melodic themes. That leaves the playing field open to Haden's springy pulse and Blackwell, whose propulsive style downplays cymbal swing in favor of polyrhythmic drum chops that constantly push and prod his bandmates. More solid than scintillating, but Haden and Blackwell make it satisfying."[3]
