In his Allmusic review, critic Ritchie Unterberger wrote, "With the exception of 1964's Folk, Blues and Beyond, this is Graham's finest non-compilation album... The raga-jazz interpretation of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now," which moves from meditative opening drones into a freewheeling explosion of modal folk-rock is one of the highlights of Graham's career on record and one of the best expressions of his ability to make a standard his own."[1]
