Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3½ stars noting "the music is a bit dull, making too much use of space and featuring less of Bowie's trumpet and wit than one would hope. There are some strong moments (particularly from Abercrombie and DeJohnette) but this band (to use a cliché) was less than the sum of its parts".[1]
