AllMusic	[1]

In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states "Lake, while the front-line player here, actually acts as the gatekeeper among melody, harmony, and rhythm, and among the various approaches to subverting or at least stretching them outside the blues or swing context."^[1]

The JazzTimes review by Willard Jenkins notes "Though Oliver Lake, who sticks to his alto sax for this date, is the melodic instrument nominally out front of the trio, there is no one true leader and the sense of shared exploration permeates this disc."^[2]
