The AllMusic review awarded the album 4 stars with Scott Yanow observing, "Anthony Braxton (who on this set plays alto, soprano, C-melody sax, clarinet, and flute) met up with his longtime pianist Marilyn Crispell for the first time on this Black Saint release. With bassist John Lindberg and drummer Gerry Hemingway forming what would be (with Mark Dresser in Lindberg's place) a regular group for nearly a decade, his quartet was off to a strong start. Braxton seems quite comfortable playing this complex music."[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz singled out Crispell's contributions as being particularly effective.[3]
