Reception

More information Review scores, Source ...

Allmusic reviewer Michael G. Nastos stated "Chicago electric guitarist George Freeman was a quintessential sideman ... This is his debut recording, done in the height of the soul-jazz era circa 1969 ... At times Freeman's sound traces to no single individual source, though it is steeped in Chi-Town blues and a progressive stance ... Too bad the world never really heard enough of George Freeman, and although this is a small taste, it is a more than adequate amuse-bouche".[4]
