Two for Two was released by Intakt Records.[3] The AllMusic reviewer concluded that "The predictably unpredictable results are sure to gratify seasoned modern jazz lovers and dazzle impressionable listeners unfamiliar with this kind of creative exchange".[2] The Down Beat reviewer commented on the humour in some of the playing and wrote that "fans of both musicians will enjoy this solid and cohesive – not to mention delightful – effort".[3]
