In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "Although there is a creative use of space, the lack of any real themes or lyrical moments makes this performance much less interesting than one would expect considering the musicians involved."[3]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes about the trio that "the combination is sometimes too cluttered, though the bassist also understands better than the two Americans how to leave light and shade, space and air, in this music."[4]
