Reception
The Allmusic review by Brian Olewnick calls the album "one of Abrams's finest recordings and is also perhaps the best showcase for Malachi Favors' talents outside of his seminal work with the Art Ensemble of Chicago".[2]The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide called the album "a more successful survey from 1975 with Art Ensemble bassist Malachi Favors along to help Abrams explore the AACM's roots ".[3]
