The Penguin Guide to Jazz	[4]

The Allmusic site awarded the album 4 stars stating "The players constantly take chances with time but there are few slipups or hesitant moments. A fascinating and long-lost session".^[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz said "Ellis plays lines and melodic inversions of considerable inventiveness, always striking out for the microtonal terrain he was to colonise later in the '60s".^[4]
