AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Those listeners with very open ears should find this set of interest".[3]
The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings called the performances "non-vintage Parker/Guy/Lytton, fine in their way but lacking the intellectual command of previous discs."[4]
In JazzTimes, Bill Shoemaker called the album "a well-engineered case in point that Parker's trio with bassist Barry Guy and drummer Paul Lytton is the premier improvised music ensemble of the '90s," and wrote: "The resulting listening experience is analogous to watching time-elapsed photography, an exciting compression of physical reality".[5]
