Reception

The Allmusic review by Ron Wynn calls the album an "Interesting, albeit flawed late '70s work with Shepp trying his hand at piano as well as his usual sax. Sometimes he makes good statements, but other times, his lack of sufficient experience can be heard. Still, it's not among his worst releases, but not his best either".
