Reception

'' The Penguin Guide to Jazz'' states "As a first point of contact, it is slightly soft-centred." In a double review for '' Down Beat'', John Corbett says about the album that "is a perfect introduction. Morris is a slinky melodist with an Ornettish approach to refracting the blues."Corbett, John. ''Symbolic Gesture'' review. ''Down Beat'' September 95: page 59. Print.
