The Penguin Guide to Jazz suggested that the album should improve Zeitlin's musical standing. [2] The AllMusic reviewer wrote that "This live solo performance is one of his greatest triumphs". [3] Pianist Liam Noble described the performance of "'Round Midnight": "this harmony is startlingly beautiful, quietly rendered and with its own strange disquiet, and carefully arranged. This is a recomposition... at first it feels like he could go anywhere with it, plucked strings against single lines seeming to abandon the chords completely before he eases into a medium tempo swing". [5]
