Piano duo is a challenging form. When Antonsen and Storaas come together and give us an exquisite variety of their own and others compositions, the result is a pleasant experience for the ear. Reviewer Erling Wicklund of the Norwegian radio broadcasting NRK states:

... Duke Ellington and Count Basie have, Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock as well. Therefore, there is great expectation when two giants in the North and West Norwegian jazz do the same: Sets to each grand piano and goes into the challenging jazz pianist dialogue... [2]

The review by Terje Mosnes of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet awarded the album dice 5. [1]
