Reception
The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek states, "This is Thomas' best moment on record thus far, and a casebook example of reinterpreting the jazz genre." The Chicago Tribune's Jack Fuller noted "The combination of Gary Thomas' whirling dervish tenor saxophone and Pat Metheny's guitar makes this an outstanding recording".
