Reception
The
Bay State Banner wrote that Hayne's "subtle accompaniment, pacing, and solos, are magnificent, and it's also great to hear Joe Henderson on tenor sax sound like he cares again."
[7]
The
AllMusic review by Scott Yanow called it "an interesting but sometimes uncomfortable mixture of advanced hard bop with electric instruments, aspects of funk, and the influence in spots of the avant-garde" and stated "None of the group originals are all that memorable either, making this date a slight disappointment".
