The Down Beat review by Peter Margasak states "Allen has worked with all three members, so she fits right in on a typically sharp, probing program that dissolves lines between post-bop and free jazz."[3]

The All About Jazz review by Chris May notes that "Allen's love of tunes and chord progressions, and her flowing rhapsodism, make her an imaginative choice of partner for Trio 3 and the meeting works marvelously."[5]
