In his review for AllMusic, Alain Drouot states "This recording is one of the best testimonies to Cyrille's art as well as a major statement by three great and inspired musicians at the peak of their powers."[3]
Gary Giddins wrote: "Oliver Lake, Andrew Cyrille, and Reggie Workman unite with a kind of loft-era thrift, and everything works—the energy level high, the effect sparkling yet controlled, and never a tossed-off moment. Lake's timbre is a saw with inch-long teeth and thoroughly fetching; I'd love to hear him commune with Lee Konitz."[5]
