The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "The musicianship is at a high level and, although Sanders does not shriek as much as one might hope (the Trane-ish influence was particularly strong during this relatively mellow period), he is in fine form".[2]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings praised "Doktor Pitt," noting that it "makes the album," and calling it "a big-voiced, dramatic piece with some of Sanders's best playing from this period."[3]
Jazz Fuel's Matt Fripp included the album in his selection of "Ten Iconic Pharoah Sanders Albums," and commented: "His former mentor John Coltrane is clearly referenced in a straight ballad reading of the standard 'Easy To Remember', whilst a fiery uptempo modal original 'You've Got To Have Freedom' clearly shadows the approach of Coltrane's classic quartet of the early 1960s."[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.
