Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said "The improvisations are explorative yet melodic and logical, while the interplay between these talented players is consistently impressive. Together they explore tributes to Clifford Jordan and George Adams and at times hint at Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, and even Grover Washington, Jr.. ... recommended". On All About Jazz, Robert Dugan called it "another forward-looking set of music".^[3]
