The AllMusic review by Andrew Hamilton stated: "An average collection from Cherry, respectable and inoffensive".[1]
In a review for All About Jazz, Chris May warned: "if you only acquire one Don Cherry album in your life, don't acquire this one," and commented: "There are some great musicians on the album... but it's not enough to lift the proceedings."[3]
Phil Johnson, writing for The Independent, stated: "It's all over the place stylistically, from Indian mysticism to heavy metal, played by bizarre bands... And yet at least a couple of the tracks... are amazing, presaging Bill Laswell's funky world-fusion."[4]

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.
