Reception
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek states "There's no letup for the entire set; it's one dazzling display after another until the piece just implodes from exhaustion — physical, that is, as the ideas still come fast and furious — and leaves the listener dazed and awed by such a soulful yet pyrotechnic display. This is one of Cecil Taylor's most "melodic" improvisations ever".[3]
