AllMusic awarded the album 3 stars.^[2]

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote: "There are moments when trumpeter and percussionist seem to be working on different ideas... And yet, there is such a stirring thoughtfulness to Dixon's spacious solo lines that the logic carries each piece forward to a satisfactory conclusion."^[3]
