Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "This episodic set has its share of sound explorations but also contains swinging sections and an impressive amount of excitement. The colorful solos (mostly by Surman) and the unpredictable writing make this a highly recommended disc".[2]
