Reception
Allmusic awarded the album 2 stars stating " Although arranger/keyboardist Gil Evans is the leader of the 14-piece band, he has a very minor presence on the set, letting his talented sidemen get self-indulgent and take seemingly endless solos. Because the supporting cast includes such fine players... This is a lesser effort that should have been a memorable one".
