Reception
AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "The pianist's music is complex and quite tricky, but more accessible than expected due to the close interplay between the superb musicians and the variety of rhythms utilized. Open-minded listeners are advised to check this one out".[6]
DownBeat gave 4 stars to the album.[8] The review calls Brackeen, "one helluva pianist, composer and leader".[8]
