Reception

Selwyn Harris of Jazzwise stated: "Although it's a less demanding recording than last year's Trio Tapestry, the ensemble dialogue is always exquisite." [4] Mike Jurkovic of All About Jazz wrote: "Arctic Riff evinces pure proof that poets and artists imagine and interpret the future because their chosen manner of expression is so rooted to the voice of humanity's past. A gifted joint effort, Arctic Riff speaks in the glorious language of ECM piano trios long cherished and too numerous to list here." [6]
