It features the leader along with fellow stars Woody Shaw, Gary Bartz and Lonnie Liston Smith. The album received a 4* rating on AllMusic, with reviewer Thom Jurek stating that this is "a stunningly beautiful and contemplative work that showcases how intrinsic melodic phrasing and drones were to Sanders at the time. This album is a joyful noise made in the direction of the divine, and we can feel it through the speakers, down in the place that scares us."
