Mike Shanley for the JazzTimes wrote that technically "both guitarists play Bill Moll seven-string axes, so it would’ve been nice if this album did a better job of distinguishing one from the other" but that "their musical touchstones and graceful styles blend together like a seasoned team."[1]
Ken Dryden at All About Jazz had a more positive take, writing the duo alternates "between lead and rhythm lines so effectively that it's hard to tell who is who." He concluded "it is obvious that they had a ball making this disc."[5]
Scott Yanow rated the album four stars on AllMusic, commenting that Haydon "holds his own with Pizzarelli on this good-natured and consistently swinging quartet set."[4]
