The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states that the album "...has plenty of memorable moments and is a surprising but logical success; Tyner's orchestral piano blended with the strings very well."[1] Chris Sheridan of Jazz Journal thought the album "possesses a winning boldness and vitality". He commended Tyner, whose music he described as "thickly-textured, and both melodically and rhythmically complex", but criticized the "ostinato motif" of "You Stepped out of a Dream", describing it as "a little mundane".[4]

One thought on “Cannabaceae”

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
