The Guardian[3]

The Independent review by Richard Williams noted "Bley has been exploring the likes of 'Blood', 'Touching' and 'Mister Joy' for most of his long career, but still manages to find something new within their strange, elliptical, allusive contours".[4] Thom Jurek of AllMusic states, "With this album, the trio of Bley, Peacock, and Koglmann has created more than just a tribute to a great if nearly completely unknown artist -- it has offered a look deep inside the musical psyche of a true original".[2] The Guardian review by John Fordham awarded the album 3 stars observing "Bley's unplugged trio – with Austrian trumpeter Franz Koglmann and Annette Peacock's first husband Gary Peacock on bass – doesn't mimic or cover its subject's work. Instead, it takes up the free-improv invitation of her melancholy, minor-key miniatures... Peacock's avant-pop connections, however, shouldn't fool anyone into thinking this is anything other than a mostly low-key, acoustic free-jazz conversation".[3]
