Allmusic said "This album is a mess, full of meandering twists and turns that reveal just how completely Collier had lost his way in the previous decade. Oh yes, and the sound is muddy, almost atrocious".[2]

A slightly different critic comes from Steve Loewy that wrote: "Although the sound quality on the CD reissue is adequate (evidently it was worse on the original LP issue on Mosaic), it does not compensate for the lack of focus, which is likely to disappoint Colliers's followers, particularly considering that the album was released after the composer's superb Day of the Dead, after a hiatus of several years The heavy use of synthesizers and electric guitar in the sextet coupled with sometimes mediocre improvisations and a generally open approach to composition leaves the listener's ears wandering"[4]
