Allmusic awarded the album four and a half stars with reviewer Michael G. Nastos writing that "All standards interpreted innovatively."[1]
The Rough Guide to Jazz wrote that "Krog is impressive with Shepp, surviving a sometimes overbearing context and making an exquisite job of Carla Bley's "Sing Me Softly of the Blues" for which Krog wrote her own lyrics".[4]
