Thom Jurek of AllMusic called it "yet another criminally underappreciated Rahsaan Roland Kirk recording from the last phase of a remarkable career". He stated that "this is perhaps Kirk's most experimental recording in that it involves his most involved performing on multiple horns and flutes—including his infamous and wonderful nose flute—and working with drones on a more surface level." while noting that "there are numerous metaphors and metonyms here, but they will not come to the listener until later, when she or he regains the conscious notion of breathing".[3] Michael Patterson of The Morning Record was more critical, disliking the singles' length and calling the album "a bad bet" and "draggy".[4]Eugene Chadbourne, writing for the Calgary Herald, stated that "it overcomes what can be considered Kirk's only shortcoming — his inability to channel all the bitterness, rage and beauty within him into one solid musical direction".[5]
