Reception.

AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars stating “Guitarist Pat Martino’s second recording as a leader finds him essentially playing advanced bop. His quintet really roars on an uptempo version of “Minority” and is diverse enough to come up with meaningful statements on four of Martino’s originals”.
