| AllMusic |   [3] |
AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars and its review by Jason Ankeny states "Williams proves a deceptively commanding presence, eschewing pyrotechnics and histrionics on a series of earthy yet accomplished solos that ripple with imagination. The organic groove extends across the record, and while each player shines, the music is far greater than the sum of its parts".[3]
