The 1977 released album is considered to be the crowning achievement of Jarrett's American Quartet consisting of himself, Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden and Paul Motian.
"A brilliantly organized and full-blooded work... a very complete record. It creates its own universe and explores it thoroughly, leaving the listener awed and satisfied... An unashamedly ardent album." - Melody Maker
"The labyrnthine composition seems to redefine 'intensity' each time it turns a corner. The drive toward the climax of Side Two is among the most moving in modern music." - The Wire
