In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "Crispell shows a great deal of passion on three of her originals... Violinist Billy Bang..., bassist Peter Kowald and drummer John Betsch complete the quartet on this intense concert performance."[2]

The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote that Crispell "holds up strongly in some pretty rugged company... Her background in classical, particularly Baroque, music is still clearly audible as she negotiates oblique contrapuntal passages and wild, seamless fugues."[4]
