Reception In a review for AllMusic, Alex Henderson noted that "Krantz's hardness and intensity serve him well" on the album, and wrote: "When Krantz lets loose and digs into such complex yet accessible jazz-rock as 'Faith in the Process,' 'Don't Tell Me' and 'Alliance,' the listener can focus on the depth of his playing." The authors of ''The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings'' stated that the "starry cast" on the album "suggests a typical fusion slugging match, but the support team is used rather sparingly... and, though the pieces are rather short and curtailed, they're an entertaining bunch." ''Jazz Journals Mark Gilbert described the album as a "pallid set," and commented: "The record is dominated by Krantz's liquid-toned Stratocaster, which comes to us via a little echo and flanging and is used in the main to express bland diatonic ideas with little blues feeling or chromatic spice... th ...
