Reception

In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states: "As a work of restrained beauty and subtle textures and colors, it is nearly a masterpiece... This was an auspicious meeting of two young minds who had already in 1994 established their own voices on a burgeoning jazz improv scene."

The Penguin Guide to Jazz says that the album "is delicately beautiful and thoughtful, almost as a classical duo in timbre and dynamics, but dealing with a language that is far from classical."[2]
