In a review for AllMusic, Brian Olewnick wrote: "It's a loose set ranging from subtly structured pieces to hard drivers like his classic 'Dogon AD,' generally featuring nice interplay between the leader's sinuous alto and soprano and Wadud's cello, the two musicians having become, at this point, virtual extensions of each other."[1]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings stated: "Bonadio isn't the most virtuosic drummer, but he's right for this music precisely because he doesn't want to plug every hole, fill every silence with sound."[5]
