The Bay State Banner wrote that "Murray's growth as both a composer and stylist from his first India Navigation works is huge, and though he may suffer from an occasional lapse into overstatement, he now seems a thoroughly rounded improviser, who may soon be the tenor's primary spokesperson."[7]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "For this fairly early recording, avant-garde tenor saxophonist David Murray teams up with cornetist Butch Morris, bassist Johnny Dyani and drummer Oliver Johnson for some fairly free improvisations, with the originals written by either Murray or Morris. Two of the numbers also utilize the adventurous voice of Marta Contreras. The results are stimulating if not essential; a lesser but still interesting effort."[4]
