Charles Walker (Jazz Review) called this “ A thoughtful unpretentious piece of work, that mines the depths while delivering steady surface riches.” Steve Loewy (All Music Guide) wrote “There is room for improvement...even though he can be justifiably proud of his efforts here.” Fred Barrett (Beyond Coltrane) noted “CIMP is a great forum for this type of improvastionary composition, since their recording process produces an immediate, yet clear, live sound. Few recordings transport the listener to the room in which the group played... I am there.”
