Allmusic gave the album a 4½-star rating while its review by Thom Jurek stated, "Rova's dedication, mastery, and almost magical interplay make this one of the quartet's most sophisticated and enjoyable records, but also its most accessible. This is a brilliant recording by a truly gifted group".[3]
