The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow calls the album "One of the few complete duds of Sonny Rollins' career, this rambling live session is a major disappointment... it sounds as if Rollins were merely warming up, playing whatever came into his mind without any thought of developing a coherent statement".[2]
