The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "On this solo soprano saxophone CD, the remarkable Steve Lacy performs his six-song, half-hour "Time of Tao-Cycle," plus three other originals ... The improvising is thoughtful, adventurous, and sometimes wandering, but rarely aimless. For specialized tastes". [4]
