Reception
Scott Yanow in his review for Allmusic stated, "One of the most exciting new jazz big bands of the period, Ellis' ensemble became notorious for its ability to play coherently in odd time signatures... Ellis enjoyed utilizing unusual combinations of instruments; the instrumentation on this date consists of five trumpets, three trombones, five saxes, piano, three bassists, two drummers and a percussionist... Highly recommended". The Penguin Guide to Jazz said "Ellis manages to combine intellectual stimulation and visceral impact".
