Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 3 stars stating "It's a solid session from beginning to end, but one still wishes Eicher would take his hands off the sound controls a bit, allowing some of the rawness that each of these players shows in live settings to enter the studio".^[2]
