Reception
In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek said "This is a passionate piece that's passionately played; its layers of meaning are particularly evocative at the turn of the 21st century, where the very meaning of freedom is hotly debated in all cultures. This is the most masterful of interpretations".
The All About Jazz review noted "The Freedom Suite is emotionally involving the whole way through. And after these forty minutes have passed, there's a palpable sense of calm and resolution. Perhaps that's a sign that Ware has managed to pass along some of his spiritual vision". The JazzTimes review by John Litweiler commented "It's good music, and I hope Sonny Rollins feels honored by this performance".
