Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "This relatively early set from Bill Frisell is a fine showcase for the utterly unique guitarist. Frisell has the ability to play nearly any extroverted style of music and his humor is rarely far below the surface. This particular quintet is not exactly short of original personalities and their outing is one of the most lively of all the ones in the ECM catalog."
