Reception

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote: "Ali is boilingly intense throughout and Belogenis gives his usual convincing performance," and singled out "Heavenly Star" for praise.[4]

Mark Corroto of All About Jazz noted that "the first track 'Invocation: Trane Is in the House'... just about describes it all," and stated that "The beauty of this session is the equal balance between these three."[6]

A writer for the Downtown Music Gallery Newsletter called the trio "outstanding" and the music "inspired," and commented: "John Coltrane continues to inspire this trio as they spin their web of swirling and overflowing sheets of sound. They spiral together as one solid force - a perfect triangle in which each side is of equal importance."[7]
