Allmusic5/5 stars[4]

The Allmusic review by Steve Loewy called it "some of the best free music ever recorded" and states "What makes this so special is the opportunity to see the music unfold. No two tracks are the same, as Rutherford, Bailey, and Guy play each piece with the revolutionary fervor of a new discovery. Nearly every minute sounds fresh and exciting".[4]
