All About Jazz[5]

Allmusic said "Mosaics is one of Collier's most provocative works yet, and stands the test of time extremely well".[4] On All About Jazz Nic Jones noted "As a bandleader Collier was by this time fashioning some distinctive frameworks for improvisation, and the group as a whole, with alto and tenor saxophonist Bob Sydor joining Beckett and Wakeman in the front line, seems so "bedded in" with Collier's work that the result is only stimulating listening of a rarefied order".[5]
