AllMusic | [1] |
The Penguin Guide to Jazz | [2] |
The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek states "This is indeed one of the most important records ever released by this great man".[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote that "Part 1" "has tentative moments, areas of slow transition which are slightly dull on first hearing though their logic becomes clearer over time. The other two parts are flawless".[2]
