Reception edit
In an article for Paris Transatlantic, Michael Rosenstein wrote: "this is 'old school', ebullient, conversational improvisation with ideas bounced back and forth and grainy textures juxtaposed. The crisp recording reveals the nuances of attack and resonance of Rupp's steel string acoustic guitar and Honsinger's unamplified cello, as the improvisations move between spiky activity and quietly evolving pools of reverberant detail."[8]
The Whole Note's Ken Waxman stated: "the eight tracks blend the timbres from cellist Honsinger's sardonic verbal humour, col legno smacks or enhanced legato quivers with Rupp's chromatic frails plus spidery finger picking."[9]
Writing for Monsieur Délire, François Couture commented: "Free improvisation, rather dry though rich in extended techniques, with moments that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I haven't heard much from Rupp to this day, but I'm quite fond of his playing here."[10]
