Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "Although the group would continue to grow and evolve, it was already a pretty impressive unit by 1979. As usual with Max Roach's bands, this group filled the gap between hard bop and the avant-garde".Yanow, S. AllMusic Review accessed May 24, 2011
