In a review for AllMusic, Steve Loewy wrote: "What is so attractive about this recording is the opportunity it offers to hear both musicians at length, occasionally sparring, but more often working hand-in-glove to produce some surprisingly lyrical gems. Ragin's roots are clearly in the tradition.... Together, they produce some beautiful sounds." [1]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings called the album "rugged stuff, bluntly recorded." [5]
Bill Shoemaker of JazzTimes commented: "There is a languid beauty to the music even when the material is built upon jagged contours, and there is a translucency to Ragin and Sabatella's exchanges even when the temperature of the music occasionally spikes; credit Ragin's ability to make any line sing, and Sabatella's sensitivity in curling around Ragin's statements." He also praised CIMP's live to two-track recording technique, which allows "Ragin's clarion horn to meld with a very full piano sound." [8]
