The Down Beat review states:[2]
Brown shows that he also can conform to conventions, which is reflected in the structure of the pieces and the instrumentation. Ironically, the saxophonist’s playing is sonically more extreme: proof that even though Brown’s tone has been getting more polished over the years, its ferocity and tartness always come back to the fore when he is at his most incandescent.
— Alain Drouot
