| AllMusic |   [2] |
AllMusic reviewer Thom Jurek stated "This 1991 session by pianist Joanne Brackeen, and her wonderful rhythm section of Walter Schmocker on bass and drummer Billy Hart, is one of the classical examples of her stridently open pianism that engages lyric and melody in the same way Bill Evans did, and the force and sense play of Herbie Nichols ... Brackeen is a hell of a composer. Her weighty and knotty harmonics are chameleon-like in their interchangeability from mode to interval to improvisation ... There isn't a weak second on this disc, and, compared to her recordings of the late '70s and early '80s, it's a radical though logical departure that offers its own reward for listening". [2]
