Allmusic awarded the album 4  stars with the review by Scott Yanow stating "There is lots of variety on this ... He has separate duets with pianist Don Thompson, his wife Jane Hall, pianist Tommy Flanagan, and drummer Terry Clarke. He also overdubs acoustic and electric guitars ... teams up with pianist Flanagan and flugelhornist Art Farmer on two duets, and uses a slightly larger group ... there is plenty of intriguing music on this recommended set".
