The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes about the title track that "'Smith's opening figures seem to contain half-remembered elements of Ives' The Unanswered Question. Elsewhere he sounds uncannily like a slowed-up version of Don Cherry, an influence that was to seem ever more pressing in years to come."[3]
