Reception

The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album four stars, calling it "Improvisational music with world music touches... An essential purchase for the adventurous listener". The Rolling Stone Jazz and Blues Album Guide also gave it four stars. Musichound Jazz called it "one of their best albums": "Typically wide ranging, it includes one certified classic: 'Sahara,' in which a steel pan orchestra meets collective jazz improvisation."
