Reception

More information Review scores, Source ...

In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "The four lengthy originals... have their moments, but there are also meandering sections... Most of the sparks are provided by the virtuosic and eccentric Anderson; Helias has a strong bowed spot on the episodic 'Martin's Stew,' which is easily the strongest performance of the four."[1]

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings described the album as "a dialogue of the deaf," and commented: "Trios of this conformation are always difficult to modulate effectively. What happens here is that three players with strongly rhythmic conceptions of their own manage to cancel each other out."[6]
