All About Jazz reviewer Troy Collins comments that "Burrell hones [sic] in on the jazz tradition with intensity and focus, delivering one of the finest statements of his career".[2] AllMusic reviewer Stewart Mason describes the album as "spiky and challenging but only rarely moving into the rhythmic and tonal fearlessness of some of his more outside work".[1]
