Reception edit

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "A melodic but explorative player, Bley (whose use of space sometimes recalls Thelonious Monk) interacts closely with the electric bass of Steve Swallow on this excellent duet session".^[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz called it "an intriguingly relaxed and unhurried survey of (mostly) older material".^[4]
