The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said "The frequently modal music is in some ways a throwback to the acoustic scene of the 1970s in that there are long melody statements and a liberal use of vamps. Adilifu's six originals generally develop slowly but are quite effective in setting moods ... Everyone plays up-to-par, making Kamau Adilifu/Charles Sullivan's "comeback" record quite successful as creative jazz". [3]

New York City R&B is a 1961 free jazz album originally recorded at a session by bassist Buell Neidlinger but subsequently reissued under joint names with the pianist Cecil Taylor. It was produced by Nat Hentoff. The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "This music is quite advanced for the period although more accessible to the average listener than Taylor's later recordings; at least one can hear his connection to the bebop tradition and to Duke Ellington".
