Reception

The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "it's another perfectly acceptable quartet performance for enthusiasts, and the two takes of "Napping" provide much to think about" In his review on AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "This Silkheart release has one of the finest all-around recordings by Steve Lacy's Sextet... all five compositions are Lacy originals. Overall, this set gives listeners a particularly strong example of the work of the innovative Steve Lacy Sextet.".
