AllMusic	[3]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "In general the music is peaceful with some dissonances. Steig provides long tones while Beirach creates light rhythmic patterns and, although it does not entirely stay at the same emotional level, the music is generally quite dry and uneventful". ^[3]
