Upon release, the record was considered to be a commercial flop.[3]
Critical reception [ edit ]
AllMusic called the album a "gem" which features "a kind of post-modal , free impressionism while gracing the edges of funk ."[4] Rolling Stone wrote that, "taking his cue from [Miles] Davis ' swirling, anarchic Bitches Brew On the Corner Sextant , with its twittering, burbling effects, amounts to a primitive version of Nineties ambient music ."[3] avant-funk masterpiece" by Paste Magazine .[2]
