``A key album in the shift in Pat Martino's sound at the end of the 60s -- with one foot in the soul jazz camp in which he got his start, and the other in the freer, open-minded style he used a lot in the 70s!'' Jazz critic Scott Yanow described the album as ``funky in spots, electric, and swinging when called for'' and extols Martino's performance as ``consistently inventive`` ``Even this difficult instrument doesn't dampen his proficiency.''
