In his review for AllMusic, David R. Adler states "Morris is highly compelling throughout, both in terms of technique and sonic creation."[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz says "Morris' dogged concentration on melody and his refusal to fall back on harmonic cushions and props is communicated to his three partners, all of whom also have a strong stake in this brand of ragged improvisation."[3]
