In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "this hard-to-find set is recommended for the rare opportunity to hear Miles Davis stretching out with these musicians."[1]
Writing for The Guardian, John Fordham called the album "a real rarity," and commented: "The upshot is that Davis's one-off relationship with the Club St Germain's house rhythm section for the Malle project... doesn't sound quite as compatible as it did for the soundtrack, where the need to swing was reduced - but it's still a fascinating document."[5]
