AllMusic[3]

In his review for AllMusic, Greg Turner states "the vastly under-recognized Harper is a master tenor saxophonist who has developed a unique sound on his chosen instrument, sometimes very passionate, sometimes very lyrical. His compositions, characterized by shifting tempos and themes played over insistent vamps, always have a spiritual, uplifting quality to them. ...This is a perfect introduction to the artist's music. ".[3]
