Reception

In his review for AllMusic, Ron Wynn stated "a rare release that showed why he is so admired by musicians and has such a tough time getting recorded. The four songs contain no prominent beats or riffs, catchy hooks, sentimental melodies, or enticing devices... Even the shorter pieces have exacting unison statements and prickly solos. An unfolding, unpredictable musical dialogue."[2]

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings noted that the album is "very much in the [Cecil] Taylor line," and wrote: "Dixon doesn't feature himself that prominently, preferring to spread much of the higher voicing round the three-trumpet front line."[3]
