| The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide |  [3] |
| The Penguin Guide to Jazz | [4] |
The Penguin Guide to Jazz called it a "reflective album,but it is by no means sombre" stating "Abercrombie seems to like the open rhythmic weave and plays acoustically with great confidence and finely controlled timbre and dynamics. Holland is by no means playing at his best but he is incapable of mere journeywork and asserts his presence in the harmonic transitions in a way that more than makes up for the absence of keyboards." [4]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states "The interplay between the three musicians is quite impressive although listeners might find some of the music to be quite unsettling. It takes several listens for one to digest all that is going on,but it is worth the struggle." [2]
All tracks are written by Dave Holland except as noted.
