The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album a "Crown" signifying a recording that the authors "feel a special admiration or affection for".[3][4]

All About Jazz stated "The group carries a stalwart emphasis on color, texture, and density—of both the timbral and harmonic kind... European improv never sounded better"[5]
