Allmusic[2]

Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars, stating: "This is an interesting set of duets by pianist Anthony Davis and vibraphonist Jay Hoggard. With the exception of Duke Ellington's advanced "The Clothed Woman," the duo sticks to originals, some of which are quite complex. However, the mellow sound of their instruments make the improvisations seem more accessible than they really are".[2]
