AllMusic |     [2] |
AllMusic stated: "The music is mostly avant-garde, but purposeful and logical in its own fashion. Well worth several listens".[2] JazzTimes stated: "In conversation she's a thoroughly grounded woman, in music she brings that as well as a sense of storytelling and picture painting that never borders on the precious, and this recording is equal parts-pure Geri Allen, always rewarding".[3]
