Reception
Allmusic's Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars and stated that "this is advanced free funk dance music."[1] A reviewer of Dusty Groove wrote: "A haunting set from Cassandra Wilson – freely creative, and a good example of the way that she was one of the few singers pushing the boundaries of jazz vocal expression in the 80s! The set's never too over the top, but it does feature lots of artful touches on the instrumentation – and in the way that Wilson chooses and sings her material. There's a slight bit of a New York downtown edge to the record, although the performance is relatively straightforward overall."[8]
