Reception
The AllMusic review by Eugene Chadbourne deemed the album "a set of performances, each in the 10-minute range, that are among Pullen's finest work... The pianist unleashes the earthy, even raging power he absorbed from the Charles Mingus combo and also displays a kind of compositional memory for details and nuances that will prove to be important as each piece unfolds."Chadbourne, E. [http://www.allmusic.com/album/milano-strut-r152364/review AllMusic Review] accessed May 6, 2011
