AllMusic[4]

The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek called it "a major addition to the saxophonist's catalog" and said "This duet date from 1990 demonstrates the deep blues feeling and technical mastery Archie Shepp has on the tenor saxophone ... this set is one of Shepp's most enjoyable ever. The reasons are myriad, but it is in large part due to the fluid, loping bass of Richard Davis".[4] In The Chicago Tribune, Jack Fuller said "This recording is first-rate".[5]
