Reception

In his review for Allmusic, David R. Adler notes that "Solitaire, the first solo piano album by Uri Caine, is a tour de force… Here, with nothing but 88 keys to work with, he makes music as electrifying as anything in his catalog". On All About Jazz C. Michael Bailey said "The music is a bit indescribable, as its depth and breath are immense. Suffice it to say that the recording is a bit like an Avant Guard Classical recital where the performer has a stream-of-consciousness conversation with the instrument and we, the audience, are eaves-dropping".
