Reception

AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars stating "Those who enjoy big-band abstractions immersed in wild, loud, and abrasive surroundings  1960s style  should appreciate the freestyle energy emanating from the orchestra... the uninitiated will likely find this all overwhelmingly imposing, but the rewards are numerous for the disciplined listener who takes the time to listen closely".[2] Jazz Review noted "Parker leads his band-mates through torrid swing vamps and variable pulses, yet the music is a study in perpetual motion guided by the soloists’ blaring lines. A high-octane effort for sure, although there’s a noticeable bonding process that occurs, which is a trait that has become a staple of this unit’s line of attack".[4]
