Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars stating, "This unusual album is an unlikely success... Zorn creates fairly boppish solos with occasional hints at more advanced improvising techniques. Worth checking out".
The Rolling Stone review by Steve Futterman said that the album "brings out Zorn's anarchic tendencies... Quartet masterminds Zorn and Wayne Horvitz spit fire, never allowing this heartfelt tribute to get too reverential... Here Zorn sounds like he's having serious fun".
