Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars stating "The music is unpredictable yet not all that unique or colorful and one's expectations for a truly classic affair are not quite reached. This is worth listening to, but is not essential except as a historical curiosity".^[2]
