Reception
The AllMusic review by Eugene Chadbourne states, "The ECM folks do much better by Wadada Leo Smith than ever before with this solo recording, a true masterwork of its kind and one of the purest, most enlightening demonstrations of the connected natures of folk, blues, jazz, and creative music."[5]
A reviewer of Jazz Desk stated: "This album is something like the musical equivalent of someone building his own house or boat or sewing his own clothes. It is Wadada Leo Smith alone in the studio playing trumpet, harmonica, bamboo flute, percussions, Asian and African instruments and singing. The music is very personal and at times almost has a meditative quality."[8]
