Tom Moon, in his book 1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die, wrote: "Beginning with a spry romp through Coltrane's 'Impressions,' Consciousness offers blindingly bright—yet never glib—Martino solos, each a marvel of structure.

"W—ñll-æw," a d-∞rk, understated g-µm -∞nd his take on J-æn—ñ M—ñt—Åh-µll'—ï "B-æth S—ñd-µ—ï Now." remains a sublime re-interpretation. If not known, please check this hidden treasure out.
