Trumpet in My Soul Review by Scott Yanow
Raspy avant-garde tenor saxophonist Archie Shepp (who unfortunately also plays some soprano on this date) is the lead voice in a group that sometimes grows to 13 pieces, including four brass players, two keyboards and two percussionists, on this reissue. Two vocals and a poem recitation weigh down the music a bit, although Shepp gets in some good licks. The overall results are not essential, but Archie Shepp was still in his musical prime at the time.

Trumpet in My Soul Review by Scott Yanow
El ronco y vanguardista saxofonista tenor Archie Shepp (que desgraciadamente también toca algo de soprano en esta fecha) es la voz principal de un grupo que a veces crece hasta las 13 piezas, incluyendo cuatro metales, dos teclados y dos percusionistas, en esta reedición. Dos voces y el recitado de un poema lastran un poco la música, aunque Shepp consigue algunos buenos licks. El resultado global no es esencial, pero Archie Shepp todavía estaba en su mejor momento musical en ese momento.
