In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek notes that "This is a monumentally important addition to the recorded library of avant-garde music and should be considered a necessary part of any enthusiast's shelf". [3] On All About Jazz Rex Butters called it "A fitting tribute to a living master, and a fascinating look at beautiful work created over thirty years ago in near obscurity, much of it available for the first time". [6] Writing for JazzTimes Bill Shoemaker said "His output was nothing less than astounding, as most if not all of the four Kabell LPs he issued during the 1970s would merit at least minor classic status in any responsible survey of the decade, especially now that they have been collected with an additional 90 minutes of previously unissued studio and concert performances". [7] The Penguin Guide to Jazz selected this album as part of its suggested Core Collection. [4] [8]
