Reception
In his review for AllMusic, John Bush observed "Pharoah Sanders album for the India Navigation label was known alternately as Pharaoh or Harvest Time, sees his vision of the jazz group -- a sonic melange approximating nirvana -- beginning to drift into watery new age muzak. ...Clearly, Pharoah Sanders was losing his way a full ten years after the death of John Coltrane". JazzTimes writer Bill Shoemaker observed "he meanders through Pharoah, sprinkling snippets of melody and soulful utterance like lotus petals. The 20-minute float on a two-chord vamp is one thing, but a vocal number that sounds like a Santana reject, and a finale with the panache of a psychedelic-era rock opus, are just too much".
