The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated that "this obscure set features flutist Prince Lasha in prime form. ...The inside/outside music has its free moments and solidifies the leader's position as one of the best flutists in the avant-garde movement of the period".{{AllMusic|first=Scott |last=Yanow |class=album |id=mw0000351702 |title=Inside Story – Review |accessdate=August 29, 2015}}
