Reception
The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars stating "This drummerless band moves through the charts like information through a printed circuit, and there is a impressive simultaneity to some of the cues which suggests that at least that some of this music was predetermined and meticulously rehearsed".[2] The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said "what should be a good band doesn't come up with much".[3]
