Reception
The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 4½ stars and stated "It is a prototype of the CTI formula of the '70s, allowing first-class jazz musicians to groove at length with minimal shaping on the production end to give these tracks drama". | rev1 = Allmusic | rev1Score =
