BBC
Bruce’s love of Mingus makes itself felt in his solo spots, while his tangy melodies recall the warped Texas blues of Ornette Coleman. A year or so later Mclaughlin had honed the first stirrings of electric jazz heard here into the sweet blast of Extrapolation, rightly regarded as a classic. […]

Robert Christgau
Hiseman because he’s serviceable and Heckstall-Smith because he’s a pleasure–his melodies striking, his eclecticism intelligent and strong-willed. The thinness of his tone, however, is frustrating–he is the lead voice, after all. […]

allmusic
As a testament to Bruce’s expansive musical tastes, capabilitiesand horizons, this disc sounds more like a collection of Rahsaan Roland Kirk sides than anything even remotely connected with Cream. […]
