Tomorrow's Promises

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars, stating "This early Don Pullen recording helped introduce him to jazz listeners. The pianist is heard in a variety of settings. ... Pullen, a very rhythmic avant-gardist who can play inside or outside, was well-served by this release."
