In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow described the album as "well-rounded" and "a continually interesting set."[1]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings called the album "an engagingly varied session, probably the best introduction to Altschul’s work," and wrote: "The title-track is a long, multi-dimensional exploration of rhythmic and tonal ideas, contrasting with Davis's typically thoughtful and oddly engaging 'Sleepwalker'. Altschul takes a solo spot on 'Drum Role', more interesting than these things usually are, but the highlight is a rousing interpretation of Mingus's 'Orange Was The Colour Of Her Dress, Then Silk Blues'."[6]
