Allmusic[3]

Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars.[3] All About Jazz observed "this gem ideally captures Sun Ra and His Intergalactic (Research) Arkestra at its most otherworldly self. ...such a recording as this offers the next best thing to but a sampling of what it must have been like to experience the path that Ra offered his listeners in a live concert, perhaps the most uninhibited platform for his musical message".[4]
