In his review for AllMusic, Eugene Chadbourne states: "This, the one existing album of this group, suffers from a syndrome of the time being too short to allow stretching out if it is to include a few different styles of compositions by each writing member of the group, which, in this case, included not only Smith but pianist Anthony Davis."[3] Track listingAll compositions by Wadada Leo Smith except where noted.
