The album was reviewed by Richard S. Ginell at Allmusic who wrote that it was Previn's "best album since his return to jazz at the close of the 1980s, and also the most surprising and unpredictable one of his entire jazz life". Ginell highlighted the title track, which he wrote was "almost avant-garde in its erudite looniness". Ginell praised Previn's playing as possessing "greater streaks of wit and a cannier use of space than ever before".[2]

gollark: Even when you actually log in it's unusable for a while more because Windows spends a while using 100% CPU for no apparent reason. You can hear the NUCs VRRRRRRRRing as loudly as they can.
gollark: In the last few years, instead of the reasonably functional setup where people's stuff was stored on a big on-premise fileserver, someone clearly decided to cloud™, and now everyone's files are on OneDrive and login takes several minutes and often breaks randomly.
gollark: The policy on using computers which people are meant to sign forbids you from "creating, running, downloading or [some other verb] executable files (programs)".
