Reception
The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 4 stars, noting that with his last studio recordings Morgan took a step towards jazz fusion without sacrificing his artistic integrity: "It is unfortunate that the brilliant and forward-thinking Morgan was cut down at such a young age, for as the music was changing, he would have adapted, as this final statement valiantly suggests."[2]
