Music Review from AllMusic.com by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

was a pivotal point in 's career, bringing him into the vanguard of jazz fusion. had pushed avant-garde boundaries on his own albums and with , but he had never devoted himself to the groove as he did on . Drawing heavily from , , and , developed deeply funky, even gritty, rhythms over which he soloed on electric synthesizers, bringing the instrument to the forefront in jazz. It had all of the sensibilities of jazz, particularly in the way it wound off into long improvisations, but its rhythms were firmly planted in funk, soul, and R&B, giving it a mass appeal that made it the biggest-selling jazz album of all time (a record which was later broken). Jazz purists, of course, decried the experiments at the time, but still sounds fresh and vital decades after its initial release, and its genre-bending proved vastly influential on not only jazz, but funk, soul, and hip-hop.
