An AllMusic review states: "these Cecil Taylor small group arrangements find the pianist at an intriguing stage of his musical development, encompassing the traditional post-bop jazz of 'Jumpin' Punkins'..., and the more radical, yet still structured approach of the title track. Accompanied by an all-star lineup... Taylor's playing is like aural modern ballet-fractured, flowing, and lyrical."[1]
