Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars stating "The music is reminiscent of both Coleman and Keith Jarrett in spots, and is often floating and wandering, generally staying quite coherent, with some fiery moments. But overall, this interesting but not essential set does not live up to its great potential".
