In the review on AllMusic, Michael G. Nastos noted that "Barron has amassed a formidable number of high-quality recordings, but this ranks right up there near the top". In JazzTimes, Josef Woodard wrote: "The sum effect is a varietal garden of sounds and ideas, within the framework of Barron’s post-mainstream jazz sensibility".
