The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos stated: "For Friedman's fifth recording, he is definitely exploring the progressive edges of modern mainstream post-bop... Certainly Friedman challenges listeners with this music, but he also challenges his own abilities and concepts. For the time period, it is one of the most vital, original, progressive statements, and one that, after all these years, retains a timeless freshness that bears not only a second listening, but consideration as a creative music hallmark.".^[2]
