Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars, stating "The music is more subdued than is usual on a Pullen disc, with the harmonies being less dissonant and the mood often melancholy and reflective but occasionally joyous. This is one of Pullen's more accessible and introspective sessions."
