The review by Terje Mosnes of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet awarded the album 5 dice[1] and said that "With his quartet, Kompen takes hold of the music, including Teagarden own "Swingin' on the Teagarden Gate", and he does so with impressive tonal formation and suppleness of phrasing. Although Kompen the recent years has emerged as equally comfortable in modern jazz expression as in trad jazz, it seems that the musical heart of his beats with extra power in the evergreen melody landscape".[1]
