The All About Jazz review by John Kelman states "Davis has a writing style that has already, at this early stage, developed into a unique sound. Her material would fit comfortably within an ECM context; while there is intensity to be found, the overall approach is more inward-looking."[3]
Reviewing for The Village Voice in September 2004, Tom Hull said of the album, "Piano trio plus three horns do her bidding without clutter or show."[4]
