Reception

The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 4 stars calling it "an absorbing set of elegantly textured, poly-styled music laced with his drifting, occasionally jagged yet never overbearing guitar". The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3½ stars stating "Like most current ECM sets, this feels very much like a collaborative project rather than a leader-plus-group; but Abercrombie does seem firmly, quietly in charge here, steering the performances in his distinctive hard to define way".
