Ken Dryden of Allmusic commented: "Lee Konitz's initial recording session with pianist Martial Solal produced two albums (the other one is European Episode ), including alternate versions of several songs ... This was a great beginning to an occasional partnership that lasted into the early '80s and produced several more albums". ^[3]
