Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars stating "The seven Rivers originals, although sometimes having colorful melodies, are quite complex. However, the intriguing and very alert interplay between the brilliant musicians makes the music seem fairly logical and worth exploring by adventurous listeners".[2]
