Reception
In his review for AllMusic, Chris Kelsey states "The men speak the same language —albeit with slightly different accents— and they communicate quite well. A nice record." The Penguin Guide to Jazz says about the album that "is a meeting of generations, and Shipp sounds respectful and happy to take second place for much ot it, constantly searching for some normative path that might hint at a tonal centre."
