Reception
AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars, stating "English pianist Django Bates has a crazy sense of humor, the ability to use dissonance and noise as a logical part of his music, and a fresh approach to group playing. On this CD, a solo piano outing, he is more subtle than on his group albums and the music takes a little while to cut loose".Yanow, S., Allmusic Review accessed 10 December 2014
