In his review for AllMusic, Dan Warburton states "Thornton is in absolutely breathtaking form throughout this live set."[2]

The Exclaim! review by Nate Dorward says that the album "offers a near-perfect balance of the best characteristics of classic free jazz: it’s an earthy, engaging mixture of populist, World music and avant-garde elements, often explicitly politicised."[3]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes that "it's strong, undated music that restores Thornton's almost vanished reputation to a large degree."[4]
