Review from AllMusic (by Scott Yanow):
Pianist Hasaan Ibn Ali only made one recording in his life, this trio set with drummer Max Roach and bassist Art Davis. A very advanced player whose style fell somewhere between Thelonious Monk and Cecil Taylor (with hints of Herbie Nichols), Hasaan actually had a rather original sound. His performances on his seven originals here are intense, somewhat virtuosic and rhythmic, yet often melodic in a quirky way. This is a classic of its kind, and it's a tragedy that Hasaan would not record again and would soon sink back into obscurity.

Reseña de AllMusic (por Scott Yanow):
El pianista Hasaan Ibn Ali solo realizó una grabación en su vida, este set de trío con el baterista Max Roach y el bajista Art Davis. Un músico muy avanzado cuyo estilo se ubicaba en algún lugar entre Thelonious Monk y Cecil Taylor (con reminiscencias de Herbie Nichols), Hasaan tenía en realidad un sonido bastante original. Sus interpretaciones en sus siete composiciones propias son intensas, algo virtuosas y rítmicas, aunque a menudo melódicas de manera peculiar. Esto es un clásico de su tipo, y es una tragedia que Hasaan no volviera a grabar y pronto cayera de nuevo en el olvido.
