AllMusic Review by Bruce Eder
The group's third and fourth albums assembled together, again with no annotation but excellent sound. In addition to being a fine showcase for the group overall, the CD gives a good account of Barry Burton's skills and development as a producer, and his ability to get some extraordinary sounds out of the group as singers as well as instrumentalists -- "The Spirit Walk" by itself, which closes this disc, is one of the crowning achievements for the group and a stunning piece of white gospel music.
