The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote that "The pieces are cleverly orchestrated, Cawley doctoring his piano to make it work like electric guitar [...] while Rochford plays anything other than straight jazz time."[1] John Fordham noted a Jimi Hendrix influence and commented "Hendrix inspiration or no, it doesn't really catch Hendrix's fire, and its themes and ensembles are less memorable than those of Babel's Polar Bear quartet, which also features Rochford, Wareham and Herbert."[3]
