The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "the many strong solos by Lacy and the highly underrated altoist Potts makes this two-fer of interest for followers of advanced jazz. This was always a well-organized and highly original group".[5] On All About Jazz Francis Lo Kee said "The great Steve Lacy, recently departed, made many records, but this one captures a great ensemble at the peak of its creative powers ... it's hard to believe that so much great music was played in one sitting".[7] Clifford Allen observed "The playful, off-kilter melodies that Lacy has a penchant for, deceptively simple repetitions of phrase and eloquent austerity, belie a Buddhist wit, and the way in which Lacy plays with composition and improvisation as though they were riddles for one another fits right into the jazz musician's koan".[8]
