In a review for AllMusic, John Bush acknowledged that "the playing is excellent," but stated that Sanders was "beginning to drift into watery new age muzak." He concluded: "Clearly, Pharoah Sanders was losing his way a full ten years after the death of John Coltrane."[2]
A writer for The Jazz Spot called the album "one of the most underrated records of the artist's career," and noted that the three tracks "denote an enormous originality and honesty." He commented: "Its diversity is complemented with a regular and uniform quality throughout the recording."[5]
