In his review for AllMusic, Alain Drouot states, "Mitchell achieves a fine equilibrium between introspection, angularity, and intensity... The performance has a timeless quality since Mitchell only tries to fulfill his artistic mission, makes no concession to trends, and refuses to compromise with his ideas." [1]

The All About Jazz review by Marc Medwin says, "Mitchell's recordings can elicit a deeply intuitive but ultimately inexplicable sense of unification in the face of superficial diversity, and this newest double disc is no exception." [2]
