DeJohnette, as always is flawless."<ref name="Penguin Guide">{{cite book|last = Cook|first = Richard|author-link = Richard Cook (journalist)|author2=Brian Morton |author-link2=Brian Morton (Scottish writer) |title = The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD|edition = 2nd|series = The Penguin Guide to Jazz|year = 1994|publisher = Penguin|location = London|isbn = 0-14-017949-6|pages = 2}}</ref>
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated that "the playing on the five group originals is generally more fiery than introspective. None of the individual selections are all that memorable but the group improvising does have plenty of surprising moments."<ref name="AM" />
