Al Campbell of Allmusic said "This is a crazy and consistently riotous two-disc set that features the Don Ellis Orchestra at its height".[2] On All About Jazz, Jim Santella observed "Don Ellis takes you off on a whirlwind ride, using electronic trumpet, complex meters, superb big band arrangements, and a cast of experienced sidemen who blow the walls down"[3]
