Reception
The Penguin Guide to Jazz selected this album as part of its suggested "Core Collection" stating "nothing here does anything but speak directly to the attentive listener." The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "One of Cecil Taylor's most satisfying solo concerts, this date features the always uncompromising and adventurous pianist exploring eight of his compositions, including a few that are quite brief (two are under two minutes). The difficult but lyrical live set rewards repeated listenings".
