Reception edit
The AllMusic review by Andrew Hamilton rated the album 4 stars, stating: "Cowell and Clarke display amazing technique ... and Hopps' impressionistic drumming is head clearing.... Hopps plays as if he has four hands with a drumstick in each, Cowell's rolling piano chords are matched in fever by Clarke's bass work."[2]
