Critical reception
Richard S. Ginell of Allmusic claimed "Around this time in their heyday, the Crusaders were experimenting with orchestral/jazz fusions in concert -- and MCA thought enough of them to capture the music in London's Royal Festival Hall one fine summer...it's one of the band's most enjoyable albums of that period."[2]
