In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "overall the music... is quite rewarding, it's a creative big band fusion that expertly mixes together acoustic and electric instruments. This was one of Gil Evans' last truly great sets."[3]
Critic Richard Williams, writing for The Guardian, called the album an "immortal recording," one "often based on no more than a scrap of material coaxed into shimmering, multifaceted life."[7]
