Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "Joe Farrell did some of his finest playing while with drummer Elvin Jones' trio during 1968-69... With Jones pushing him and Garrison sounding quite advanced, Farrell was consistently inspired to play at the peak of his creativity". | rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = | rev2 = DownBeat | rev2Score = |rev3 = The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide | rev3Score = {{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 = 113
