Reception
The AllMusic review by Ron Wynn states "This '84 date included some intriguing instrumental configurations at times (vibes/flute/percussion, piano/clarinet/bass clarinet) and ranked among his best '80s dates". The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars stating "View sounds like a thoroughly personal statement. The multi-instrumental approach lends it a fluid, unsettled quality, but with a huge timbral and textural range".
