The Penguin Guide to Jazz | [3] |
In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states: "In general Mitchell saves the more boppish pieces for his tenor while on soprano his intense sound creates a drone effect reminiscent a bit of bagpipes."[2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes that "when the rhythm section are playing straight time and setting up a groove underneath, Mitchell's honking and mordant saxophone often sounds frankly ludicrous."[3]
