In 1989, the album received the Grammy Award for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album posthumously.[3] Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars stating "Some critics rapped Evans' '80s orchestras for their almost chaotic sound and loose feel. But Evans wanted a sprawling sensibility, and although his bands often seemed disorganized, they always maintained discipline in the midst of what others thought sounded like musical anarchy".[2]
