The Penguin Guide to Jazz

In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "The reason that this outing is a success is that the musicians are quite skilled, listen closely to each other, and make memorable music out of very open originals."

The Penguin Guide to Jazz observes that "Brown sounds as if he's looking for extremes which don't really suit him. But some passages offer gripping and wholly absorbing playing."
