Reception

In his review for AllMusic, Steve Loewy states "While this recording will satisfy many of Ware's fans, in some ways it is ultimately a flawed document, and one not likely to stand the test of time as readily as much of his other work."

The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes "The first drawback is that the performance have a curious quality of inwardness and abstraction, almost as if we were listening to David in rehearsal rather than communicating to a live audience."[1]
