In his review for AllMusic, Michael G. Nastos states "While this recording only scratches the surface of their vast collective potential, it does give an indication of how much they enjoy and respect each other's company, and their high level of musicianship."[2]

The Point of Departure review by Stuart Broomer says "It’s an extremely deliberate trio, a group in which each member is able to insert marked gestures. It’s also a very patient group, willing to develop long, gradual tension curves that arch through a panoply of minor details and events."[3]
