Description
In his review for AllMusic, Brian Olewnick states “The musicians are all up to the task… But the ‘stars’ of the album are the compositions themselves, probing and muscular, offering a fresh way through the stasis that was building in some circles of avant jazz by the mid-’90s.”
The Penguin Guide to Jazz says “Almost temperate in parts, there’s some exemplary use of the group as a unit, with a piece like ‘The Mark Inside’ offering a sort of jaundiced twist on jazz tradition.”
The Down Beat review by Aaron Cohen notes that “Vandermark’s themes are often based around endearing riffs that are never merely cute and provide a lively framework for each performer’s agility.”
