Scott Yanow, writing for AllMusic, awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "Although not quite up to the level of his upcoming, more freewheeling Xanadu sessions, this is a fine outing".[3] Dan Morgenstern, writing for DownBeat, called the album "some of McPherson's most moving playing on record" and noted that McPherson "creates naturally flowing and musical phrases that are a joy to the ear."[4]
