Music critic Jason Anderson, writing for Allmusic, wrote of the album "Throughout this wide-ranging effort, Hedges' incredible right hand keeps perfect time in its role as sole accompaniment for the musician's vocal work and simultaneous soloing... Too passionate to simply file under new age, Hedges displays all his originality and fiery musicianship on this first-rate live offering."[1]
