Upon its release, Lynn Van Matre of the Chicago Tribune called the album "Wholly weird and mostly wonderful." [2] In a retrospective review, J. Chandler of AllMusic commended the album's cover artwork but wrote that the album's music content "is pretty indistinguishable from the rest of the low-budget drugged out hippie Hare Krishna rock-jazz chant music being made at the time."
