Allmusic4/5 stars[2]

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "In addition to a feature for Hoggard and tributes to the bebop generation and Andrew Hill, the most impressive piece is the title cut which has fragments of melodies from Africa and Asia. This subtle album rewards repeated listenings".[2]
