Reception edit
The Penguin Guide to Jazz rated the album three and a half stars out of four and wrote of the session, "they intermingle their respective many-noted approaches as plausibly as if this were a regular band (in fact, they never recorded together again)."[2] The Allmusic review written by Scott Yanow rated the album four and a half stars out of five.[1]
