Allmusic reviewer Thom Jurek states "This is a fiery and yet accessible date that showcases many aspects of the two men not only as players, but as composers as well".[2] On All About Jazz Mark Corroto wrote "Quite patient in its approach, the quartet renders an amazing recording of music that announces this trip to the country".[5] In JazzTimes Chris Kelsey noted "There's not a lot of no-holds-barred free blowing, most tracks leave plenty of sonic headroom and the playing is uniformly excellent. Ultimately, however, it's the textural and dynamic contrasts from tune to tune that are the record's greatest strength".[6]
