Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow gave the album 4½ stars, calling it, "Thought-provoking and occasionally exciting music that generally defies categorization."[1]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz gave the album 4 stars, noting, "There's more filigree than flash on the early Timeless and it's left to DeJohnette and the underrated Hammer to give the set the propulsion it calls for... this is a session that has grown in stature with familiarity, an altogether tougher and more resilient label debut than anyone remembers."[2]
The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said, "Hammer especially plays with astounding fire and grace on this session, some of the finest organ playing he's recorded."[3]
