## Critical reception

The Los Angeles Times wrote that the "electric forays don't add up to another grab bag of tired fusion formulas... The pieces on the release stress shifting moods and textures more than virtuoso licks." The Omaha World-Herald concluded that the musicians "often gets into sound for sound's sake as the trio shifts from jazz to fusion to free interplay... The excesses nearly outweigh the good stuff."
