Reception
In his review for AllMusic, Michael G. Nastos wrote "These three pieces flow beautifully, not in the strictest angelic, pretty, or peaceful fashion, but with the clear, assured dignity and confidence Ware has always displayed. It's not intended for garden-variety jazz listeners, but for fans and those aware of the gifts of this giant-stepping innovator in modern creative music".
All About Jazz noted "While Ware may be best known for his quartet work, it's clear that this is but one facet of his overarching vision. He expands his instrumental arsenal here to take in the saxello and the stritch, as well as his customary tenor sax, and the album's three pieces pan out in that order".Jones, N., All About Jazz Review, March 3, 2010
