AllMusic | [4] |
Ken Dryden of AllMusic stated, "This duo date marks the first occasion during which Andy LaVerne and John Abercrombie played together, so with the impressive results it isn't surprising to learn that they would get together again in the studio. The give and take between the pianist and guitarist is at the high level of the Bill Evans-Jim Hall sessions. ... This is an excellent all around release".[4]
