Reception

The JazzTimes review by Lyn Horton states "Rempis and Rosaly have an inherently intense rhythmic sense. With a highly integrated sound despite the difference in timbre, the two musicians latch onto musical ideas and go forward as if there were no tomorrow." [2]

The All About Jazz review by Troy Collins notes "Rempis and Rosaly's studied interplay lends even the most threadbare of skeletal themes a sense of foresight, making this fully improvised session one of the more concise and cohesive dates of its kind." [3]
