The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek states, "This is Thomas' best moment on record thus far, and a casebook example of reinterpreting the jazz genre." [2] The Chicago Tribune's Jack Fuller noted "The combination of Gary Thomas' whirling dervish tenor saxophone and Pat Metheny's guitar makes this an outstanding recording". [4]
