Critical reception.
The album was listed at #11 in the "Los Angeles Times" Classical Top 25 of 1989. Brian Olewnick, in the "All Music Guide to Jazz", calls it a "fairly typical early mélange type recording by Kronos, mixing in "au courant" contemporary fare with a downtown edge and 20th century classics."
