Reception
The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos stated: "Pretty stunning music. As heavy and stylistically different as this music is, the point is clear and well-taken.Lewis and his group make a statement unique in creative jazz and unto itself.
This is an important recording in many ways, and a magnum opus for the leader".
