AllMusic[3]

Michael G. Nastos of AllMusic stated, "Blackman, more than a timekeeper but less a melodist (like Max Roach), thankfully continues to grow and not sell out to more overtly commercial considerations. Her desire to be a jazz player is clear, and she's making strong inroads to being a formidable bandleader as well".[3] In JazzTimes, John Murph called it "an amazing portrait of one of this generation’s most colorful drummers".[4]
