In her review for AllMusic , Joslyn Layne states "this is an incredible performance by a stunning group of musicians whose skill and chemistry completely sidestep the fact that this is only the second time that these three great jazz improvisers ever played together."[2]
The Down Beat review by Jon Andrews says that Anderson "communicates without the harshness and split tones that alienated many listener in that era" and notes that Crispell "displays a broad range of expression from percussive rage to crystalline delicacy."
[4]
The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings awarded the album 3½ stars, and commented: "this seems like a relationship written in the stars, and it allows them to build up whole areas of interaction in which the exchange of ideas is almost too fast to follow. Drake provides sterling accompaniment and... often takes the initiative in breaking up Crispell's long, suspended lines into shorter, more discursive sections."
