The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos stated: "As a standalone single CD, this recording, done over a three-year period and more than any other from Don Cherry, represents a full spectrum overview of all the phases in his nomadic adult musical life". [2] The Calgary Herald dismissed the album as "another selection of National Geographic sounds." [5]

Writer Michael Stephans commented that "the recording is vintage world music Cherry, and is mostly very enjoyable." [6]
