The
Allmusic review stated "Konitz and Harris have not crossed paths all that often through the years but they joined forces for an engagement at Birdland in 1991. ... The two stylists mix together just fine. Konitz's sweet/sour tone and melancholy moods are joyfully uplifted by Harris' mastery of bebop".[4]
