Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars and stated "The set matches Ervin with a remarkable rhythm section... The music is quite moody, soulful, and explorative yet not forbidding". | rev1 = Allmusic | rev1Score = |rev2 = The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide | rev2Score = {{Cite book |editor-last=Swenson |editor-first=J. | author-link = | year = 1985 | title = The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide |url=https://archive.org/details/rollingstonejazz00swen |url-access=registration | publisher = Random House/Rolling Stone | location = USA | isbn = 0-394-72643-X | pages = 72 |rev3 = The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings |rev3score =
