"Five Stars ... it's about time ... its totally translucent soundstage making it the best sounding album of Rivers' career ... a rediscovered classic ... brings attention to a largely overlooked album that stands as a singular entry in Rivers' catalogue. Demonstrating that true freedom means everything is permitted, its eclectic programme also demonstrates just how much better a great recording can be, when given ECM's attention to sound and detail."
