Reception
Allmusic reviewer Alex Henderson comments that the album is not for the light of heart in jazz and who haven't been exposed to avant-garde. However, he does say that those who do appreciate the genre "will find a lot to enjoy about Burrell's inspired outside duets with Martin." Allaboutjazz.com reviewer Robert Iannapollo says the playing "shows Burrell’s creativity still flowing freely."
