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]

gollark: Although this really seems less clear than, say,```javascript-nodefor (let i = 0; i <= 10; i++) console.log(i)console.log("finish")```
gollark: Sorry, this is utterly incomprehensible to my feeble JS-using mind.
gollark: Assembly is functional because you can define functions in it.
gollark: Idea: replace LGBT+ with some sort of regex golf thing?
gollark: Hmm, what if 10x esolang based around... decimal number manipulation?
