In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "the most unusual aspect of the set... is that there are many sections where two different players solo together... Everyone plays well, but nothing really that unexpected occurs... overall, this date falls short of being memorable."^[2]

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings called the album "a strong, mixed programme," featuring a group that is "tightly integrated... responsive to changes in mood and pace, and to subtleties of light and shade." They commented: "it's getting harder to find any more superlatives for [Motian] either as writer or as performer."^[4]
