Reception

The Globe and Mail wrote that the music "[falls] in line somewhere between Chick Corea (from his early Return to Forever period) and McCoy Tyner, with some of the former's lyricism and a hint of the latter's energy."[4]

The AllMusic review by Ken Dryden states, "This is one of Steve Kuhn's more unusual studio sessions... At times, the pianist seems less like a post-bop musician and more like someone dabbling in new-age music."[3]
