Reception [edit]
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars stating "The influence of Miles Davis' early fusion period is felt throughout the music but there is nothing derivative about the often-surprising results. As with Wayne Shorter's best albums, this set rewards repeated listenings.".[1]
