Reception
In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states "This 1979 date by tenor saxophonist Billy Harper is one of his most transcendent. Rife with his deep study of Coltrane's modalism, and his own deep knowledge of the blues and Eastern music, Harper and his quintet take on three extended pieces... This is a winner, top to bottom, and one of the more engaging vanguard jazz outings of the late '70s to come from American soil".
