John Kelman in his All About Jazz review states: "The music ranges from brashly swinging full-section charts like 'With Terry's Help,' where Surman's powerful soprano solo demonstrates just how quickly he'd evolved into a singular voice, to the more delicately balladic and Gil Evans-inflected 'The Dandelion'. Despite the scripting inherent in this kind of large ensemble work, there's a refreshing looseness and sense of unfettered exploration throughout." [2]
