Reception
In her review for Allmusic, Heather Phares said "Toys continues Uri Caine's integration of disparate styles into jazz... his technical brilliance and mercurial style shine". Writing for All About Jazz, Robert R. Calder said "neither the most spontaneous nor always the most profound. Technical accomplishment it does have in spades, however".
