In his review for Allmusic, David R. Adler notes that "Drummer/percussionist Jerry Granelli and organist/pianist Jamie Saft team up on this quirky and fairly chaotic set of duets. ... The two principals cover a lot of ground, from blistering groove and noise to extreme minimalism to faux cocktail music and '70s folk ... Even when they cross the line into kitsch, Granelli and Saft bring a unique perspective to live interaction and sound production".^[2]
