The album was re-released in 1976 in Japan and 1977 in the U.S. The album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2015. It is one of the albums for which the long-active and prolific Rollins receives his greatest praise. Tagged by AllMusic as "a near-classic", the recording was declared by Inkblot Magazine to be "one of the greatest albums from one of jazz's greatest musicians". If not a tremendous departure from Rollins' earlier style, the album was nevertheless quite successful. #ROLLINS WORKTIME ALLMUSIC FREE#
Rollins, who had been considered groundbreaking in his thematic improvisations, was supplanted in critical buzz by the growing popularity of Ornette Coleman's free jazz. Critical reception to the album, which was not the revolutionary new jazz approach many expected, was mixed.
His first recording after his return to performance took its name from those solo sessions. A resident of the Lower East Side of Manhattan with no private space to practice, he took his saxophone up to the Williamsburg Bridge to practice alone: "I would be up there 15 or 16 hours at a time spring, summer, fall and winter". In 1959, feeling pressured by the unexpected swiftness of his rise to fame, Rollins took a three-year hiatus to focus on perfecting his craft.
