Reception
The
Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "pianist Geri Allen's work is always technically adroit, often adventurous, prodding and challenging the massive-toned Haden into producing some of his most out-there work of recent years... Other tracks are thoughtfully ruminative in ways that remind one of the
Keith Jarrett American quartet, of which Haden and Motian were the anchors".[2]
