Reception

Allmusic reviewer Steve Loewy states "While there are some wonderful moments on this recording -- McPhee's astonishing sax solo and Rosen's muscular backing on "Wegatchie Run" come to mind -- as a whole this set is not as consistently compelling as others in the oeuvre of the group". In JazzTimes Marc Masters wrote "On Moods, McPhee stretches further, playing flugelhorn and pocket trumpet, plus more rippling tenor sax. The trio's patterns also widen: often, one player will retreat completely".
