Reception
In his Allmusic review, music critic Charlotte Dylan wrote of the album; "The music on this album is bluegrass flavored with a little jazz. Fans won't notice anything untried or bold here from Alison Brown, but there are a number of good songs on this album..."
Writing for No Depression magazine, Rachel Leibrock felt the album was restrained and called it "a cocktail-hour fusion of jazz, Latin and Caribbean rhythms.. a sparkling and crisp arrangement of unassuming instrumentals, but they never fully hook the listener... Dispassionate and cool, the record is too pristine and orderly to burn itself into a more emotional listening sphere."
