In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "The reason that this outing is a success is that the musicians are quite skilled, listen closely to each other, and make memorable music out of very open originals."[2]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz observes that "Brown sounds as if he's looking for extremes which don't really suit him. But some passages offer gripping and wholly absorbing playing."[3]
