Reception
AllMusic critic Ron Wynn says: "Hubbard was a master of tonguing effects, high-voltage upper notes, and long phrases, while Morgan was a hypnotic improviser. The two trumpeters, despite their consistent brilliance, were almost outdistanced by alto saxophonist and flutist James Spaulding, then at his peak. Spaulding's effortlessly played, torrid alto solos were explosive and often dazzling. The rhythm section grounded the proceedings in elastic and sympathetic rhythms, providing the final element in the formula comprising two tremendous albums, and now one great CD package."[5]
