Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars stating "This music is stimulating and represents one of the highpoints of Freeman's rather streaky career". The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said the album was "perhaps the best opportunity to sample Freeman's writing and instrumental arsenal"
