Reception
In a review for AllMusic, Ken Dryden wrote: "Blackman leans a bit toward fusion without entirely giving up her more mainstream roots... Blackman obviously wanted to expand her musical horizons, but only time will tell if she remains with this instrumentation or returns to her roots." ==Track listing==
