In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "This is a worthy effort that is innovative in its own way although not recommended to listeners who feel that bebop is 'modern jazz'." [3] The JazzTimes review by Lyn Horton claims "His music is seminal, even more so it seems than either Coltrane’s and Coleman’s was, because it is downright raw." [5]

Frank Wright was an American free jazz musician, known for his frantic style of playing the tenor saxophone. Critics often compare his music to that of Albert Ayler, although Wright "offers his honks and squawks with a phraseology derived from the slower, earthier funk of R&B and gospel music."

In addition to tenor saxophone, Wright also played the soprano saxophone and bass clarinet.
