The Allmusic review by Solar Marquardt awarded the album 4 stars stating "The album features a confident, slightly more laid-back sound than their earlier material. The tracks are longer, averaging five to six minutes a piece, yet excellent improvisation and orchestration prevents them from becoming monotonous". [2]
