AllMusic[2]

The AllMusic review by Steve Loewy awarded the album 4½ stars stating "Trumpeter Dave Douglas has participated in so many styles of music that listing them all would be mesmerizing. Some of his best work has been performed in free style and hard bop jazz groups. Here, he charts a different path, albeit one that he has pursued successfully before, in a mellow, lovely vein".[2]
