Stewart Mason of Allmusic wrote, "Black Rhythm Revolution is not a
bad album at all; in fact, most of the tracks are good to great, with Recorded November 2, 1970
the lengthy bookends "By the Red Sea" and "Wander" both featuring Studio Van Gelder Studio,
memorable grooves and tight, compact solos. It's just considerably Englewood Cliffs
