Reception
In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek notes "Dickey's own timekeeping is also full of dynamic control and keeps the entire process of unfolding within the linguistic sensibilities of hard-swinging jazz."
The All About Jazz review by Clifford Allen states "Dickey is not, with this ensemble, presenting a dramatic new concept in improvised music, as his compositional style runs the gamut from driving free-bop to pastoral tone poems."
In a review for JazzTimes Chris Kelsey says "Dickey has a huge jazz percussion vocabulary. He swings in about as many ways as is possible, and he's got a fine touch and big ears."
