Reception

AllMusic said:
The Free Jazz Collective's Martin Schray called the album "absolutely fantastic". Writing shortly after the death of Lou Reed, he commented: "I guess Lou Reed would have liked this music if he had heard it, its abrasiveness, its harshness, its elegance, its sound, its diversity, its beauty."
A writer for The New Yorker described the album as "a spastic, free-jazz romp worthy of both their catalogues".
