The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings[4]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated that "this obscure set features flutist Prince Lasha in prime form. ...The inside/outside music has its free moments and solidifies the leader's position as one of the best flutists in the avant-garde movement of the period".[3]
