Critical reception

In his review for The Village Voice, music critic Robert Christgau gave the album an "A-" and said that, although it is overpriced and underrecorded to some degree, its selling point is the title track, which features the longest Coltrane solo ever recorded. Allmusic's Thom Jurek gave it four stars and wrote that, despite some audio fades, the album has exceptional sound and is of "historical importance".
