Reception

The [Penguin Guide to Jazz] awarded the album 3 stars, stating: "This drummerless band moves through the charts like information through a printed circuit, and there is an impressive simultaneity to some of the cues which suggests that at least that some of this music was predetermined and meticulously rehearsed". The [Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide] said that "what should be a good band doesn't come up with much".
