Steve Huey, writing for AllMusic, stated: "These are frequently fascinating explorations that illuminate a neglected facet of Sharrock's singular style." [1] In an article for The Washington Post, Geoffrey Himes commented: "There's plenty of tension in the duets -- especially when Sharrock adds barbed-wire to his tone and counterpoint to his harmonies -- but there is so much openness and melodicism in the arrangements to make this free jazz at its loveliest."

All music is composed by Sonny Sharrock and Nicky Skopelitis, except "Venus" by Pharoah Sanders
