The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "'MB-1 (for Marion Brown)' is superb, but there are too many moments when the music descends into noisy jostling."[2]
In a double review for All About Jazz Robert Iannapollo says "Rather than two front line soloists with a rhythm section, on this release they seem like a group of four equals. The rhythm section has really developed into a team that is just as able to step out in front and lead the band as to drive it along from behind."[3]
