In his review for Allmusic, arwulf arwulf states "Coleman's readings of "The Crave," "The Pearls," "Frog-I-More," and "Mr. Jelly Lord" are so intelligently and creatively delivered that anyone with the slightest interest in 20th century music really ought to consider making time for this recital".[2]
