On the album, Grimes is joined by clarinetist Perry Robinson and drummer Tom Price. Reception. In an review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "Although Grimes played in a wide variety of settings in the late 1950s, he was working exclusively in the avant-garde by 1965. Teamed with clarinetist Perry Robinson in one of his earliest recordings and the obscure drummer Tom Price, Grimes gets a  fair amount of solo space on these six group originals. However, it is for Robinson's playing that the adventurous but not overly memorable disc is chiefly recommended." The authors of "The Penguin Guide to Jazz" awarded the album 3 stars, stating that the album was interesting "for a first view of Perry Robinson and for some strong solo statements from the leader."
