AllMusic | [2] |
Down Beat | [3] |
In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek notes that "the full fruition of Ware's musical thought is displayed for the listener progressively, revealing his sense of innate logic, architecture, spiritual discipline, and instinct." [2]
The Down Beat review by Shaun Brady states "Longtime listeners can rest assured that not only has Ware not been weakened by his recent illness, he has reached new heights of invention." [3]
The All About Jazz review by Nic Jones says "There's always been authority in his saxophone playing, but with the passing of time the gravity of his work has become more apparent, as if every note he plays is now invested with the wealth of life's experiences." [4]
