While exalting the album as "[showing] the trio at its most buoyant, swinging, melodic and dynamic" Keith Jarrett also writes in the original notes that "If jazz is about swinging, energy, and personal ecstasy for the player and the listener, I can think of no other single concert by the trio that expresses these qualities so compehensively." [2]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars and states, "this document is a mindblower from start to finish, and there are moments when all you can do in response is look at the box slack-jawed and wonder if what you just heard really happened. It did and it does, over and over again. This set is a magical, wondrous moment in the life of a trio when it all comes pouring out as inspiration and mastery".[4]
