On the album, the duo are joined by bassist Wilber Morris and drummer Michael Wimberly.

[1][2] In a review for AllMusic, Steve Loewy wrote: "the group projects the liquefied, eclectic, even elastic, approach of Oluyemi Thomas' reeds which, no matter how vigorous the attack, seem to speak with a relaxed confidence.

"[3] Writing for All About Jazz, Jerry D'Souza commented: "The music here has moments of great inspiration... Oluyemi Thomas churns a torrid air with squiggles, cries and yowls when he has 'Direct Focus'; Wimberly accents lightly, letting the horn do the singing, and then gradually kicks up the tempo.

Thomas shows a distinct flair for heady improvisations constantly stoking the fire of changes.

Ijeoma Thomas does the spoken-word/scat in 'free-spirit' mode, riding the waves like th' surfer of soul(s) that she is... Oluyemi Thomas' reed & wind performances are totally complimented by drums from Michael Wimberly & bass by Wilber Morris... A great jazz & poetry outing that gets our MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED rating… it’s a classic that you'll have to have!
