Release and reception

[edit]

The reviews for the album were generally positive. Glenn Astarita from Allmusic recommended the album, writing that it was "an early glimpse of one of the most powerful jazz-rock units to emerge in quite some time."[1] Tony Green from the JazzTimes magazine wrote that "the band's vocal-fronted, hard-charging amalgam of funk, rock and jazz should be more than a belly full for folks who haven't heard them before".[3]
