Haiku was released by Marsalis Music in 2004. [3] The AllMusic reviewer described it as "thoughtful, lyrical, melodic, and a bit introspective", and suggested that its quietness prevented it from being more than "merely a brilliant set of restrained improvising". [4] The Penguin Guide to Jazz called it "an astoundingly good record" and wrote that "There's no sense of right and left [hands] working independently, but rather as a unit". [1] The JazzTimes wrote that "most of Haiku vacillates oddly between overstatement and understatement" and that the slower pieces were meandering and too long. [2]
