Matt Collar of AllMusic wrote, "Clayton conjures a richly soulful and dreamlike atmosphere... crafting songs that straddle the line between classical chamber music and flowing modal post-bop. [...] There's a spiritual, imagistic quality to much of the album that has the feel of a '70s ECM recording." [2] John Fordham, writing for Jazzwise , described the album as "a smoothly romantic choice that might not endear itself to the jazz hardcore, but will undoubtedly make plenty of friends elsewhere". [5]
All tracks are written by Gerald Clayton except where noted.
