Reception

The AllMusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album three stars and said that "This crackpot title...is a front for a not-so-dangerous, hard-swinging album in which Schifrin invents or borrows 18th-century classical themes and sets them into big band or small-combo contexts. With the cream of New York's jazz session men of the '60s on board...jazz buffs will have a fine time with this collision of the centuries, which leans heavily to the jazz side". [1] In his review of the album's sequel AllMusic's John Bush noted that,"... the LP practically disappeared upon release... but enjoyed a long shelf life among idiosyncratic jazz fans..."; so much so that the sequel was released 35 years after the original.
