Reception
In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "Both Swell and Kelsey (who possess fairly original sounds) are not shy to utilize space nor to express themselves and their colorful interplay is the main reason to acquire this continually interesting avant-garde disc."
The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes that "The duo with Kelsey is a long-standing rehearsal partnership, and they read each other's moves with brilliant empathy."
