[1] The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "Wallace Roney began to break free of the frequent claim that he was overly imitating Miles Davis.

[2] In the Los Angeles Times Don Heckman wrote, "Roney’s recording, at first blush, appears to be a further extension of his reworking of the Davis approach of the ‘60s and ‘70s.

... the music has the kind of crisp, intuitive interplay that emerges too rarely in studio-only sessions.

Roney is at the top of his form, urgently rushing from rapid-fire, cutting-edge segments to quiet, lyrical passages, continuously pushing and stretching to shape a familiar sound into his own distinctive expression.

And the group ... seems as eager as Roney is to move jazz into the future without abandoning its connection with the past".
