Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars with its review by Michael G. Nastos stating, "Of the limited discography offered to us by Jim Pepper, this is his finest contemporary recording... Pepper creates world jazz fusion with a twist relating to his heritage, something that perhaps nobody else has done, or is capable of" and calling it an "inspired and inspirational set, which is highly recommended".

All compositions by Jim Pepper except as indicated
Jim Gilbert Pepper II was a jazz saxophonist, composer and singer of Kaw and Muscogee Creek Native American heritage. He moved to New York City in 1964, where he came to prominence in the late 1960s as a member of The Free Spirits, an early jazz-rock fusion group that also featured Larry Coryell and Bob Moses. Pepper went on to have a lengthy career in jazz, recording almost a dozen albums as a bandleader and many more as featured soloist. Pepper and Joe Lovano played tenor sax alongside each other in band led by drummer Paul Motian, recording three LPs in 1984, 1985 and 1987. Motian described Pepper's playing as "post-Coltrane". Don Cherry was among those who encouraged Pepper to bring more of his Native culture into his music, and the two collaborated extensively. Pepper died of lymphoma aged 50.
