Critical reception
Chris Kelsey of AllMusic stated: "while Friedman has in the past recorded with more fire, this is a well-executed and rewarding set by a musician who embraces (and exemplifies) the best jazz has to offer". On All About Jazz, Derek Taylor observed: "Sweeping accolades and fame may not be in the cards for Friedman, but based on the strengths of this session the situation doesn’t seem to matter much. He’ll keep doing what he does best, whether there’s a widespread audience or not. For that, listeners in the know should be grateful".Taylor, D. All About Jazz Review, April 11, 2003
