Allmusic calls the album "a lovely record ... by a trio versed in understatement and nuance." Reviewer Thom Jurek in particular comments on Burrell's playing by saying that his "fills between the lyric lines are humorous, warm, and dazzling."[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz also mention that the three men "gel perfectly" and they provide him with the most flattering context for years."[2]
