In a review for AllMusic,Scott Yanow wrote:"The first half of this two-fer... is sometimes a touch lightweight even with moments of interest... However,the second album... comes across quite well as Corea does justice to the spirit of Monk without losing his own strong musical personality." [2]
Peter Marsh of the BBC stated:"ECM has always brought out the best in Corea,with the label's tendency towards introspection stripping away most of the fussiness and bombast that makes some of his other recordings a bit hard to stomach. The trio setting is a sympathetic frame for Corea's pianistic talents for much the same reasons." [6]
Writing for Between Sound and Space,Tyran Grillo commented:"Highly recommend for the lovely Monk set alone,but give the improvisations a chance,and you will surely find a wealth of colors to explore again and again." [7]
