In a review for AllMusic, Ron Wynn awarded the album 4 stars, writing: "A textbook live recording by Oregon... It contains their usual classical, African, and jazz elements and shows that they're more aggressive and animated in performance than in the studio. The recording is excellent and fully displays the broad range of colors, rhythms, and textures that they present.[3] The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented: "'Silence Of A Candle' is absolutely magisterial, and even more abstract pieces... underline that what Oregon was best at was real-time improvisation... Walcott's influence on the group is even more obvious in a concert setting. There is rarely a moment when he is not shaping or reshaping the music."[4]
