Reception

The Allmusic review by Dave Connolly awarded the album 2½ stars stating "If you enjoy jazz/classical hybrids, which are by their nature intellectual pursuits, than this music should pique your interest. However, better to think of this as a duet with some string support than a sextet of equal partners".
