Reception

More information Review scores, Source ...

Allmusic reviewer Brian Olewnick states "It remains not only a wonderful session in its own right but also one of the more approachable entries into this superior musician's realm. Highly recommended".[2] All About Jazz writer Clifford Allen said "McPhee has hit on a central concept in jazz and improvised music with his engagement of lateral thinking. Improvisation, for it to be successful, must occur on an equal level between participants, a conversation in one room, at one table, even if the plates and silverware differ. The fact that this session is somewhat hit-or-miss does not defer from the notion of Po Music, for ebb and flow must include failures as well as successes".[4]
