The album was his second for Gramavision and was recorded right after leaving Miles Davis's band.[4] He used two musicians from the Davis group, Jones and Hakim, both of whom had also recently recorded and toured with Sting.[5] The album was critically acclaimed,[6] though The Penguin Jazz Guide notes that "even some Scofield devotees seem unpersuaded of its considerable merits".[5]
The album is ranked number 998 in All-Time Top 1000 Albums (3rd edition, 2000).[7]
