Reception
The Allmusic review by Brian Olewnick awarded the album 2½ stars and stated "The result is a fairly solid, if slightly bland, date that may cause the listener to pine for her earlier "excesses"... in the end, Bley's themes and structures tend more toward the competent than the stirring or memorable, leaving one desirous of the richer fare that she has served in the past". The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded it 3 stars stating "A stirring live outfit the Very Big Band translates well to record, with plenty of emphasis on straightfoward blowing from featured soloists".
