The editors of AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars, and reviewer Scott Yanow commented: "the emphasis is on intense solos and very free improvising. There is plenty of fire displayed on this spirited set". [2]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote: "The album as a whole has the looseness and immediacy of a live set, but is crisply recorded." [4]
Writing for Elsewhere, Graham Reid stated that the musicians "bridge that divide between the grit of innercity urban life and the Indo-influenced cosmic conscious beyond," and remarked: "On this album... the long past of black American jazz is right there as part of whatever moment the players are in, and whatever future might beckon."
