The AllMusic review by Cub Koda states: " Pepper may have been a tortured soul in his last half-decade, but he let all of his emotions come out through his horn. And his music was never more direct, honest and beautiful as a result of it".[3] In JazzTimes Harvey Pekar was less complimentary stating "The CD consists of four long tracks, and on it Art's playing leaves plenty to be desired. He plays with plenty of heat, but doesn't connect his phrases or build, wandering all over the place, and doesn't display much imagination either. It's a shame because the rhythm section cooks like crazy"[5] No music from this 1977 Keystone Corner engagement was ever released on LP
