In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "The two most intriguing performances are versions of Mercer Ellington's 'Jumpin' Punkins' and 'Things Ain't What They Used to Be' which feature the avant-garde pianist with trumpeter Clark Terry, trombonist Roswell Rudd, soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy, baritonist Charles Davis, tenor Archie Shepp, bassist Buell Neidlinger, and drummer Billy Higgins. Taylor's jarring comping behind the other soloists is quite interesting and somehow works. 'O.P.' and 'I Forgot' feature Taylor with Neidlinger, drummer Dennis Charles, and (on the latter song) the young Archie Shepp. A good sampler of Cecil Taylor's marathon Candid sessions."[1]
