Reception
In his review for Allmusic, Alex Henderson notes that "Caine celebrates Mahler on his own terms on this consistently intriguing CD".
Writing in JazzTimes, Andrew Lindemann Malone observed "When Caine responds to the melodies, rhythms and texts of Mahler's originals, he doesn't merely change his own rhythms and melodies, as jazzmen have since time immemorial, but changes styles completely-and since Mahler embraced an eclectic style himself, Caine can really pull out anything he can think of".
