AllMusic[1]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz[2]

In his review for AllMusic, Brian Olewnick states "Overall, a fine, substantial album showing the trio (plus one) in solid form."[1]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz says "There is an absolutely overwhelming treatment of Albert Ayler's 'Ghosts' and a vibrant version of Joe Harriott's 'Idioms', which sounds better than anything on Vandermark's own Joe Harriott Project record."[2]

The JazzTimes review by Harvey Pekar notes that "Gustafsson and Vandermark perform wide open during most of the album, honking, screaming, rasping and playing as rapidly as possible."[3]
