AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Andy LaVerne, who is normally heard with trios, sounds surprisingly comfortable in the solo setting. His performances on this date are rhapsodic and occasionally wandering ... This is an interesting set of creative jazz". [4] The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings described the album as "ponderous," and commented: "this is impressive pianism... but too often one longs for a more filigree touch." [5] The Washington Post's Mike Joyce noted that the album "finds LaVerne thoughtfully exploring harmonic options," and commented: "LaVerne's deft orchestrations subtly freshen the standards without obscuring what made them classic in the first place." [7]
