"Tears of Rain" is an original composition for this project by Metheny, recorded with his sitar guitar. In the CD booklet, Haden asserts (incorrectly) that Johnny Mandel's "The Moon Song" had never been recorded before.[2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz selected the album as part of its suggested Core Collection.[3] AllMusic called it "a fine record when the material is happening, but a bit of a chore when it is not".[4]
