AllMusic[2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz[3]

The AllMusic review by David R. Adler stated: "This is a remarkable encounter between four top-notch musicians... Although the record falls solidly within the "free jazz" category, it has a mysteriously soothing, meditative quality. Fans of these four greats shouldn't miss it."[2]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote: "The music is entirely collaborative and there are solo tracks, duos, and trios, with only one substantial group track, so the emphasis is on intimate communication across small but significant musical distances."[3]
