Reception
The Allmusic review by Glenn Astarita awarded the album 4½ stars calling it "one of the finest modern jazz releases of the '70s... Vigorously recommended".[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings says it is “the album people associate with Harper, a strong, eclectic blend of blues, hard-edged rock patterns and the by now familiar preaching style.”[3]
