AllMusic	[1]

In his review for AllMusic, Michael G. Nastos states "This is the first, greatest, and premier solo recording by Roscoe Mitchell that has to go down as one of his all-time best, and a prime example of how to stand alone, unafraid of any preconceived notions in how modern jazz should sound or be performed."^[1]
