Matt Collar, writing for AllMusic, said, "Clayton's sonically textural compositions... find him drawing upon a cohesive blend of modal post-bop, modern classical, soul, and Afro-Latin sounds. [...] While the DJ-spinning concept works nicely, the album also flows just as well from start to finish." [3] Selwyn Harris of Jazzwise wrote, "Clayton's beguiling themes are full of elegant twists and turns while the combo of performances, arrangements and production draw in the listener at a deeper level." [5]
