In a multiple review for All About Jazz Kurt Gottschalk states "This is the relaxed Anderson, stretching out with a friend, in no hurry to go anywhere: three long improvisations (15 to 22 minutes) followed by a 5-minute vamp."[3]
A reviewer for The Free Jazz Collective wrote: "it is great from beginning to end... it is inspiring music, fun to hear, a joy for the attentive listener. Technical and musical skills abound, but the players' main focus is on the common project: the musical end result."[2]
The authors of the 2008 Britannica Book of the Year called the album "some of his finest recent work."[4]
