Reception

The AllMusic review by Lee Bloom stated, "The material on this date falls comfortably within the realm of what the ECM label is famous for; meticulously recorded, lyrical chamber music."

DownBeat gave the album 4½ stars, praising Erskine's "more zen than macho" subtlety, stating "rather than keeping strict time, Peter plays a more melodic function here, commenting on the music while Danielsson holds the center."
