Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "The octet is perfect for David Murray as an outlet for his writing, a showcase for his compositions, and an inspiring vehicle for his tenor and bass clarinet solos. For the third octet album (all are highly recommended), Murray meets up with quite a talented group of individuals: altoist Henry Threadgill, trumpeter Bobby Bradford, cornetist Butch Morris, trombonist Craig Harris, pianist Curtis Clark, bassist Wilber Morris, and drummer Steve McCall. Their interpretations of four of Murray's originals – 'Murray's Steps', 'Sweet Lovely', 'Sing Song', and 'Flowers for Albert'—are emotional, adventurous, and exquisite (sometimes all three at the same time)."
