Reception
AllMusic's Chris Kelsey wrote, " Bloom's control over the horn was occasionally dubious, but she evidenced an attractive tone and a coherent (if a bit immature and self-conscious) manner of phrasing. Her tunes were already quite sophisticated and distinctive, pointing to the even more ambitious composer into which she evolved. On the other hand, her band for this album will probably not be excelled for the rest of her career."
Writers of
Jazzwomen: Conversations with Twenty-one Musicians stated that the album "established her as a new voice to be reckoned with on the soprano saxophone."
