AllMusic	[1]

In his review for AllMusic, James Christopher Monger gave the record two out of five stars. Although Monger thought "the playing is top-notch, the recording impeccable, and the tunes are strong", he felt that the release offered nothing new that had not been previously delivered on the 2004 album Shangri-La. ^[1]
