The AllMusic review awarded the album 4 stars.[2] The New York City Jazz Record's reviewer wrote that "It's often dense and tense collectivized free jazz, but it's also radically egalitarian, each voice an equal even in the presence of Lyons' soaring virtuosity."[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz described the album as "the most conventional" of those recorded towards the end of Lyons's career.[4]
