AllMusic stated: "This set of concise free improvisations is highly recommended to open-minded listeners".[2]

All About Jazz wrote: "There are plenty of interesting harmonies here, and a sense of rhythm which both includes and goes beyond the tyranny of the beat. Fans of Paul Bley or post-bop music in general will have a treat with this beautifully produced recording".[4] Another review on the same site stated: "Bley and company have churned out a very interesting collection of tunes that stretch the imagination and boundaries of jazz".[5]
