He praised the rhythm section, stating that it "handles the varied moods and tempos very well, generating plenty of energy when the arrangement calls for it.
"[4] In a review for The Progressive Aspect, Bob Mulvey commented: "it is that spontaneous live feel that makes the music sound so fresh and invigorating – and the rhythm section are truly in empathy and act as the perfect foil for the bombast of David Sancious keyboards and guitar.
