An essential purchase for the adventurous listener".[2] The Rolling Stone Jazz and Blues Album Guide also gave it four stars.[3] Musichound Jazz called it "one of their best albums": "Typically wide ranging, it includes one certified classic: 'Sahara,' in which a steel pan orchestra meets collective jazz improvisation."[4]
