AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars stating it "maintains a consistently high level of musical quality from start to finish".[2] AllAboutJazz called it "a powerful recording that instills hope and assurance for the future of Modern Jazz. Stefan Winter of Winter & Winter continues his superb track record of producing quality product that is essential listening for the serious Jazz collector/audiophile.

Notes

[edit]

The track names are wrong, at least for the first four songs. For instance, "Who's in Control" is "Only Hearsay," "Only Hearsay" is "Pariah's Pariah," and "Zero Tolerance" is "Who's In Control."
