In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "This adventurous and well-constructed live set holds one's interest throughout and is well worth several listens."[1]
The JazzTimes review by Chris Kelsey notes "Murray's been hotter, but it's great to hear him again in a stripped-down context. And it's great to hear El'Zabar, period."[2]

gollark: But then I wouldn't have a computer. I need that.
gollark: Well, it's unsafe.
gollark: Really? I've seen a bunch of random Linux programs written in C.
gollark: I agree that writing everything in intensely horrific JS is bad. I just don't think that much application software which is currently written in C would become worse if written in something safer and higher level.
gollark: I'm quite confident that the majority of user-facing ~~ones~~ computer systems have most of the development effort invested in random applications software which doesn't need to be hyperoptimized.
